Bathrooms and kitchens in Little Ilford
Little Ilford has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. 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, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
If you live in an older home near St Michael's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Manor Park station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Bathroom resealing in Little Ilford, done properly
It isn’t only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about a joint torn by a bath that flexes and failed sealant on the screen profile.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Little Ilford are no different.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

When to call us in Little Ilford
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Look out for these signs:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
As a London address, Little Ilford can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What affects the quote in Little Ilford

- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen from start to finish. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Little Ilford
Do you take on hotel work around Little Ilford?
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 parking be tricky for a visit in Little Ilford?
Parking in Little Ilford, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
