Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Mottingham, Greater London
Specialist bathroom resealing for Mottingham: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Leave it or put it right?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Mottingham, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why Mottingham customers choose us
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Fully insured
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Bathroom resealing in Mottingham
Homes in Mottingham have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. If you have mouldy sealant that has gone black and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, we can help.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Mottingham, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Mottingham and across Greater London.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Mottingham
- Sinks & splashbacks

- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Mottingham
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. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Grove Park station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Mottingham is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

FAQs for Mottingham
Do you work for landlords with property near Grove Park station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Could a tired shower seal in my Mottingham flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Which products 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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Mottingham
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Managing a site like Marvels Lane Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
