How we handle bathroom resealing in Broadwater Farm
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you are dealing with gaps where the bath or tray has moved and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can put it right.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In Broadwater Farm, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In Broadwater Farm, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Why deal with it now?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
FAQs for Broadwater Farm
Is parking a problem for a job in Broadwater Farm?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
I live in a flat in Broadwater Farm. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Normally after around 24 hours. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Broadwater Farm?
Yes. We work in Broadwater Farm and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Broadwater Farm
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Broadwater Farm. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Schools such as The Willow Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Bruce Grove station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What else we do in Broadwater Farm
What we are called out for in Broadwater Farm
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually won’t clean off.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Broadwater Farm is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
