Surface by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Bathroom resealing in Inner Avenue
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Typical jobs include two layers of silicone, both failing and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, across kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks.
In a smaller place like Inner Avenue, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Basins & vanity units

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.

Inner Avenue: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Inner Avenue?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover smaller places like Inner Avenue?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
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.
What colours of sealant can you use?
You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We can help you pick when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Common problems we fix in Inner Avenue
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Schools such as Bevois Town Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers in most cases. For a job in Inner Avenue, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Inner Avenue
Landlords and agents in Inner Avenue can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Inner Avenue
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. In an older home around Inner Avenue, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Inner Avenue

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Inner Avenue. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near St Denys station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you live in an older home near Saint Mary's, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
