How we handle bathroom resealing in Highams Park
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. Typical jobs include black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and water getting behind the bath panel, across kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Highams Park
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Highams Park?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
I let a flat near Highams Park station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you cover Highams Park?
Yes. We cover Highams Park and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Highams Park
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Highams Park, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is normally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Bathroom resealing in Highams Park: local notes
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John's, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Highams Park station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What we are called out for in Highams Park
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as South Chingford Foundation School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
