Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Mile End, Greater London
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homes and businesses in Mile End and across Greater London. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Mile End
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you’re dealing with shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, we can put it right.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Mile End, 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 in Mile End and across Greater London.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself 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. For a job in Mile End, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Common problems we fix in Mile End
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
In the older streets around Holy Trinity Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Mile End homes and their sealant
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Schools such as Beatrice Tate School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Limehouse station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Mile End is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. We carry out bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Mile End and nearby, as part of our work across Greater London. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, and Mile End is one of them.

Mile End questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Limehouse station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Mile End?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Why deal with it now?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.
