- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In a small place like Clapton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Bathroom resealing in Clapton
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the bath or tray has moved and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
Homes around Clapton are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Clapton, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the quote in Clapton
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Clapton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What do you put in the joint?

No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Bathroom resealing in Clapton: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Kintbury station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you live in an older home near Church of St Swithin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Surface by surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
