Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Childs Hill
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Childs Hill more than a cosmetic job.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Childs Hill
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Childs Hill. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
In the older streets around All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as All Saints' CofE Primary School NW2 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.

When to call us in Childs Hill
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
As a London address, Childs Hill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Small signs come before a leak: 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.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers for a typical job. In a London area like Childs Hill, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- 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.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Childs Hill, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
