Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
About our bathroom resealing in Chelsea
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, and we will send you a clear quote before any work starts. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Chelsea are no different.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a London area like Chelsea, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Why act early in Chelsea
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Chelsea
I let a flat near London Victoria station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Could a tired shower seal in my Chelsea flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Chelsea homes and their sealant
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. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near London Victoria station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Managing a site like Oratory Roman Catholic Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Chelsea is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
