- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Clerkenwell
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you’re dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units alike.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Clerkenwell are no different.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Common questions in Clerkenwell
Do you work in hotels near Clerkenwell?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Could a tired shower seal in my Clerkenwell flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Clerkenwell, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Clerkenwell, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

To make quoting easier, please include:

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Clerkenwell
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
Clerkenwell is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Bathroom resealing in Clerkenwell: local notes
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, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Rented homes near Farringdon station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as St Peter and St Paul RC Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In Clerkenwell, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.

- Let us know about parking restrictions

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
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.
