About our bathroom resealing in Poplar
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are two layers of silicone, both failing and splits where the tray meets the wall.
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 Poplar more than a cosmetic job.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a London area like Poplar, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- 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.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
How we quote for bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We do not publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Common problems we fix in Poplar
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
For landlords with property near Canary Wharf 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
- Are they insured?
- Is VAT in the price?
- The length of the guarantee
- How much experience the applicator has
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Poplar
Landlords and letting agents in Poplar can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
For anyone letting property in or around Poplar, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Poplar
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. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Poplar is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you live in an older home near St Peter's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Common questions in Poplar
Do you work in hotels near Poplar?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Could a tired shower seal in my Poplar flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
