Trusted bathroom resealing in Monkhams

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on how much there is to do. In a London area like Monkhams, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
  2. We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Bathroom resealing in Monkhams

A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you have gaps between the worktop and the wall and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, we can put it right, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths alike.

Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Monkhams more than a cosmetic job.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why act early in Monkhams

Sorting it now is quick: it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Monkhams, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Why Monkhams customers choose us

  • A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
  • Old sealant always removed completely

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Monkhams

Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
  • Damp behind the bath or under the tray
  • Gaps between the worktop and the wall
  • Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off

Monkhams is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What sealant work can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • A leaking waste, trap or valve
  • Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Monkhams

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. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wells Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Highams Park station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Common questions in Monkhams

I live in a flat in Monkhams. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?

Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Highams Park station?

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Can new silicone go straight over the old?

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.

What sealant do you use?

It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Monkhams, along with the rest of our area.

Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?

Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.

Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?

Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
