Bathroom resealing in North Kensington, done properly
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Common call-outs are for a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and mouldy sealant that has gone black, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In North Kensington, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

What bathroom resealing looks like in North Kensington
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around North Kensington. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
In the older streets around Dissenters' Chapel, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. As a London address, North Kensington can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Leave it or put it right?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.

Landlord and commercial work in North Kensington
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Common problems we fix in North Kensington
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
If you let a flat or house near Kensal Green station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Are they insured?

Your questions about bathroom resealing in North Kensington
Is parking an issue for bathroom resealing in North Kensington?
Parking in North Kensington, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
I live in a flat in North Kensington. Can a failed seal leak into the flat 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 I choose the colour of the sealant?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
