About our bathroom resealing in Canning Town
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. In Canning Town, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why deal with it now?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. In a flat in Canning Town, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers in most cases. For a job in Canning Town, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
What affects the quote in Canning Town
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common questions in Canning Town
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Custom House station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Canning Town?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
How long will the resealing take?
It takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. You’ll know how long to expect before any work starts.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
