Bathroom resealing in Havering-atte-Bower
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. 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 are dealing with leaking joints on a shower screen and gaps between the worktop and the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface. As mastic and silicone sealant specialists, we take on bathroom resealing and every other kind of sealant job in Havering-atte-Bower.
Black mould along the bath, or water getting past the shower tray, is normally the reason people in Havering-atte-Bower book bath resealing or shower resealing. Done properly, both are quick jobs.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Havering-atte-Bower, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Havering-atte-Bower
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
If you look after a building such as Dame Tipping Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What we are called out for in Havering-atte-Bower
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Havering-atte-Bower is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How hidden problems are handled
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In Havering-atte-Bower, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

FAQs for Havering-atte-Bower
I let a flat near Harold Wood station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Havering-atte-Bower?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Generally after around 24 hours. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
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.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
