Bathroom resealing in Havering-atte-Bower
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
For a small place like Havering-atte-Bower, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Common problems we fix in Havering-atte-Bower
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evangelist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- The length of the guarantee
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

What else we do in Havering-atte-Bower
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
