What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Bathroom resealing in Royal Docks, done properly
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. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We are often asked to deal with sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, on wet rooms, 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. In Royal Docks, that is a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Royal Docks. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

FAQs for Royal Docks
Do you work in hotels near Royal Docks?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Is parking an issue for bathroom resealing in Royal Docks?
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.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Royal Docks
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Royal Docks is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
