Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Gillette Corner
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you have a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Gillette Corner are no different.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common problems we fix in Gillette Corner
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
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. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Gillette Corner
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 has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps.
As a London address, Gillette Corner can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you look after a building such as Marlborough Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why deal with it now?

In a flat in Gillette Corner, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.

Common questions in Gillette Corner
Can worn sealant in a flat in Gillette Corner cause a leak downstairs?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
I let a flat near Syon Lane station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Gillette Corner?
Yes. We cover Gillette Corner, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In Gillette Corner, 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 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.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
