Bathroom resealing in Pollards Hill, done properly

With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Pollards Hill. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about two layers of silicone, both failing and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.

London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Pollards Hill more than a cosmetic job.

Our work is backed for twelve months, in Pollards Hill and everywhere else we cover.

Pollards Hill questions

Is parking an issue for bathroom resealing in Pollards Hill?

It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.

Do you work for landlords with property near Norbury station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.

Do you cover Pollards Hill?

Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Pollards Hill.

When can I use the bath or shower again?

Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.

Do I have to be there?

It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.

Can new silicone go straight over the old?

No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.

What colours of sealant can you use?

There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.

What sealant do you use?

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

When it is not the sealant

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:

  • A tray or bath that is cracked through
  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Wet rooms
  • Sinks & splashbacks

Why act early in Pollards Hill

Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. 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.

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Why us?

  • Arbo and Everbuild products
  • Fully insured
  • White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
  • 12-month guarantee on every job

What bathroom resealing looks like in Pollards Hill

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Pollards Hill. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.

As a London address, Pollards Hill can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you look after a building such as Kensington Avenue Primary School, 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.

Landlord and commercial work in Pollards Hill

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.

How the visit works

When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints 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. In Pollards Hill, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Should I try it myself first?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

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. All the old material has to come out first.

How we quote for bathroom resealing

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • When we can work, for business premises

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What to tell us for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Roughly how big the job is
  • Where the property is

To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.

When to call us in Pollards Hill

Silicone doesn’t 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.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
  • Smears of silicone across the tiles
  • Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
  • Splits where the tray meets the wall

Rented homes near Norbury station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What your quote should include

  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • How long the guarantee is
  • Whether they’re fully insured
