Bathroom resealing in Clapham

Do you need bathroom resealing in Clapham?

Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • A joint torn by a bath that flexes
  • Two layers of silicone, both failing
  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath panel

As a London address, Clapham can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Clapham

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. Clapham has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.

For an older house near a landmark such as St Paul's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Clapham Manor Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Clapham: your questions answered

Could a tired shower seal in my Clapham flat affect the neighbours 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.

Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Clapham?

Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?

After around 24 hours in most cases. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.

Do the sealants smell?

Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Do I need to be at home?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.

Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?

Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Where are you based?

We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Clapham

You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The product the joint needs
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The size of the job

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Roughly how big the job is
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Whether it’s a home or a business

There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can I do it myself?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

What happens on the day

Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Clapham. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention any tricky access
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

For landlords and businesses

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

When it isn’t the sealant

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
  • Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them

If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands

Aftercare tips

A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:

  • Squeegee the walls and tray after use
  • Do not let bottles sit on the bead
  • Wait for the cure time we give you
  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant

Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.

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. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
