Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Catford
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you are dealing with damp behind the bath or under the tray and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. For a bathroom or kitchen in Catford, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why act early in Catford
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. 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 for homes in Catford.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How the job changes by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Catford
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Laurence and Community Centre, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Catford is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you look after a building such as Holy Cross Catholic Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
FAQs for Catford
Could a tired shower seal in my Catford flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Do you work for landlords with property near Catford Bridge station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Sinks & splashbacks
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In Catford, 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.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
