Bathroom resealing in Ladywell
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Ladywell
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Ladywell?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Ladywell 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 you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in Ladywell
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we are called out for in Ladywell
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally will not clean off.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
If you look after a building such as St Mary's Lewisham Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if the job turns out different
Ladywell homes and their sealant
Ladywell has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Ladywell is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Ladywell. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- 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.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
