Petts Wood Bathroom Resealing
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Petts Wood, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Bathroom resealing in Petts Wood, done properly
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Typical jobs include black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Petts Wood more than a cosmetic job.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Petts Wood homes and their sealant
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, 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 look after a building such as Crofton Junior School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Petts Wood is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you let a flat or house near Petts Wood station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a job in Petts Wood, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

Petts Wood questions
Is parking an issue for bathroom resealing in Petts Wood?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Petts Wood station?
Yes, we work for landlords and 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 work begins.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. You will know how long to expect before we start.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Why act early in Petts Wood
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. 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.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
