Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Old Oak Common, Greater London
Bathroom resealing across Old Oak Common and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and the area is left clean. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Old Oak Common. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
About our bathroom resealing in Old Oak Common
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. 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. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about a reseal done over the top of the old bead and smears of silicone across the tiles.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. In Old Oak Common, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Old Oak Common
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Old Oak Common, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
What affects the quote in Old Oak Common
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Old Oak Common: your questions answered
Can worn sealant in a flat in Old Oak Common cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Old Oak Common?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
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 full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Old Oak Common?
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Eritrean Orthodox Brent, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
