Bathroom & kitchen resealing in City of Westminster, Greater London
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in City of Westminster? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
About our bathroom resealing in City of Westminster
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you have cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In City of Westminster, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on the size of the job. In a London area like City of Westminster, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Common problems we fix in City of Westminster
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
If you let a flat or house near Bond Street station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What affects the quote in City of Westminster
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Bathrooms and kitchens in City of Westminster
London’s water is hard, 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, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark's, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. City of Westminster is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common questions in City of Westminster
Do you work in hotels near City of Westminster?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I live in a flat in City of Westminster. 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. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you work in City of Westminster?
Yes. We cover City of Westminster and the rest of Greater London. To book, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
