About our bathroom resealing in Limehouse

A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a photo of the joints, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. If you have leaks into the floor or ceiling below and mouldy sealant that has gone black, we can put it right, on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks alike.

Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.

A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Different surfaces, different methods

Basins & vanity units

A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.

DIY versus a professional finish

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

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.

What we do, step by step

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a job in Limehouse, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

How to prepare

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Move anything stored near the joints

Why deal with it now?

Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Limehouse, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.

The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Questions from Limehouse

I live in a flat in Limehouse. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?

Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Limehouse station?

Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.

What does bathroom resealing cost?

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.

My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?

Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally cannot be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.

Is white the only colour available?

White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.

Which products do you use?

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

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.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Limehouse homes and their sealant

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Limehouse. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.

In the older streets around St Paul's Bow Common, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Stepney Greencoat Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Limehouse station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need sealing
  • The number and length of the joints
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The type of sealant required

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What to tell us for a quote

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

  • A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
