What we are called out for in East Wickham
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
If you let a flat or house near Welling station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Bathroom resealing in East Wickham, done properly
Homes in East Wickham have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include leaks into the floor or ceiling below and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In East Wickham, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

East Wickham homes and their sealant
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. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Homes close to St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as East Wickham Primary Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in East Wickham
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, 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’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Questions from East Wickham
Could a tired shower seal in my East Wickham flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
I let a flat near Welling station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work in East Wickham?
We do. Our applicators work in East Wickham.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
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 we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in East Wickham?
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.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in East Wickham, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In East Wickham, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
