- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Why it’s worth doing now in Highgate
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Highgate, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

How we handle bathroom resealing in Highgate
Homes in Highgate have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. If you have leaks into the floor or ceiling below and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, we can help, on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths alike.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Highgate are no different.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Highgate and everywhere else we cover.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Highgate

Parking in Highgate, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.

Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.

Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Highgate homes and their sealant
London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. 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.
As a London address, Highgate 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 St Michael's Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How it works
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. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In Highgate, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Common problems we fix in Highgate
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
In the older streets around Highgate United Reformed Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What product goes in the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
