Your questions about bathroom resealing in Ickenham
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Ruislip station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Ickenham 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.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Ickenham?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Bathroom resealing in Ickenham
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are two layers of silicone, both failing and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
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. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Ickenham are no different.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In Ickenham, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:

- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The type of property

Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Surface by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Bathroom resealing around Ickenham
London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. 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.
If you let a flat or house near West Ruislip station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Managing a site like The Douay Martyrs Catholic School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Giles' Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
