Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Shirley Oaks
Across Shirley Oaks, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We are often asked to deal with two layers of silicone, both failing and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Shirley Oaks, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
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.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

Shirley Oaks questions
Can worn sealant in a flat in Shirley Oaks cause a leak downstairs?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Elmers End station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you work in Shirley Oaks?
We do. Our applicators work in Shirley Oaks, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
How long will the resealing take?
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.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and the area is left clean. In Shirley Oaks, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access

Why deal with it now?

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 for homes in Shirley Oaks.
