How we handle bathroom resealing in Eel Pie Island
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you’re dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can put it right, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Eel Pie Island, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eel Pie Island
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents and landlords in Eel Pie Island can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Eel Pie Island. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Eel Pie Island
I let a flat near Twickenham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you take on hotel work around Eel Pie Island?
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.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
When to call us in Eel Pie Island
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
