Lissenden Gardens Bathroom Resealing
Baths, showers and worktops in Lissenden Gardens need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Bathroom resealing in Lissenden Gardens
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Lissenden Gardens. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about a joint torn by a bath that flexes and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
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 Lissenden Gardens are no different.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Can I do it myself?
If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Lissenden Gardens
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Lissenden Gardens 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.
For landlords with property near Gospel Oak station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Parliament Hill School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower from start to finish. In Lissenden Gardens, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Lissenden Gardens
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
In the older streets around Highgate Road Chapel, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long to leave it before use
- What product goes in the joint
Why deal with it now?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. 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 Lissenden Gardens, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Colour picked to suit the job
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Lissenden Gardens?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
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.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
