Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Old Ford.

Bathroom resealing in Old Ford, done properly
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for two layers of silicone, both failing and mouldy sealant that has gone black, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
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. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Old Ford are no different.
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.

Helping us quote

- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is

There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and the area is left clean. In Old Ford, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us 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.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Old Ford questions
Is parking an issue for bathroom resealing in Old Ford?
Parking in Old Ford, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Old Ford?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Is white the only colour available?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Landlord and commercial work in Old Ford
If you manage several properties in or around Old Ford, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
