About our bathroom resealing in Locksbottom
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. If you are dealing with water getting behind the kitchen upstand and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can help, whatever the surface.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. For a bathroom or kitchen in Locksbottom, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In Locksbottom, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

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. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Locksbottom, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Locksbottom
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Locksbottom is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Locksbottom
Can worn sealant in a flat in Locksbottom cause a leak downstairs?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
I let a flat near Orpington station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
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 it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Bathroom resealing around Locksbottom
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Orpington station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you look after a building such as Darrick Wood Infant & Nursery School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
