About our bathroom resealing in Richmond
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Common call-outs are for a joint torn by a bath that flexes and water escaping at the shower enclosure, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands.
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 Richmond more than a cosmetic job.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Richmond and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: it 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 London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Richmond.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Landlord and commercial work in Richmond
Landlords and agents in Richmond can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
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.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen in most cases. For a job in Richmond, parking and access are the things to plan: 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.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- 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, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Richmond?
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
For landlords with property near Richmond 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
- How the colour is chosen
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Richmond homes and their sealant
Richmond has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
Homes close to The Vineyard Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Vineyard 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.
