About our bathroom resealing in Maypole
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. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and water getting behind the bath panel.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Maypole, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Maypole. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Maypole?
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
In the older streets around Mission Chapel, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
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.
FAQs for Maypole
I live in a flat in Maypole. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
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.
Is parking an issue for bathroom resealing in Maypole?
Parking in Maypole, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Maypole homes and their sealant
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
As a London address, Maypole can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Letting a property close to Knockholt station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
