About our bathroom resealing in Mitcham
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Mitcham. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about leaks into the floor or ceiling below and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Mitcham
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
For landlords with property near Mitcham Eastfields station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What else we do in Mitcham
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Mitcham. 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Mitcham
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In a flat in Mitcham, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Full insurance on every job

What bathroom resealing looks like in Mitcham
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. 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.
Mitcham is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Homes close to St. Mark's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Mitcham is about 2 miles west of Thornton Heath, in Greater London. Across the CR4 area, we cover bathroom resealing for homes and businesses. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, Mitcham among them. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Mitcham: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a job in Mitcham?
Parking in Mitcham, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Could a tired shower seal in my Mitcham flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
