Bathroom Resealing in Monks Orchard
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homes and businesses in Monks Orchard and across Greater London. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Monks Orchard
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Monks Orchard. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are smears of silicone across the tiles and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Work for landlords, hotels 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.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Common questions in Monks Orchard
I let a flat near Elmers End station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
I live in a flat in Monks Orchard. 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’s down. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Monks Orchard homes and their sealant
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing 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.
As a London address, Monks Orchard can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Rented homes near Elmers End station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Homes close to St George The Martyr Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property

Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In Monks Orchard, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Ask for a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice

What else we do in Monks Orchard
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
