Bathroom resealing in Fortis Green, done properly
It isn’t 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. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about damp behind the bath or under the tray and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
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. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Fortis Green
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Fortis Green?
Parking in Fortis Green, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Fortis Green cause a leak downstairs?
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.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Fortis Green.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Fortis Green
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps.
Schools such as Fortismere School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Fortis Green is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Other services in Fortis Green
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a London area like Fortis Green, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Fortis Green?
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Rented homes near Alexandra Palace station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What affects the quote in Fortis Green
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
