How we handle bathroom resealing in East Finchley
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you are dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and gaps between the worktop and the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
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 East Finchley more than a cosmetic job.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
East Finchley homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around East Finchley. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near New Southgate station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. As a London address, East Finchley can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What we’re called out for in East Finchley
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in East Finchley.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Your questions about bathroom resealing in East Finchley
Is parking a problem for a job in East Finchley?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you work in hotels near East Finchley?
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.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, 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.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in East Finchley and across Greater London. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, including the tidy-up. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
