- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Why act early in The Wrythe
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Bathroom resealing in The Wrythe, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and leaking joints on a shower screen.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In The Wrythe, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
FAQs for The Wrythe
Could a tired shower seal in my The Wrythe flat affect the neighbours below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in The Wrythe?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
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. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
What affects the quote in The Wrythe
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
What we are called out for in The Wrythe
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Look out for these signs:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Victor Seymour Infants' School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What preparation is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
Bathrooms and kitchens in The Wrythe
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Carshalton station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you live in an older home near Bishop Andrewes Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In The Wrythe, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
