Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Tooting
Homes in Tooting have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include two layers of silicone, both failing and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, across basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in Tooting, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Questions from Tooting
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Tooting?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
I live in a flat in Tooting. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Tooting. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
When to call us in Tooting
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Homes close to St Augustine include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

Bathroom resealing in Tooting: local notes
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 has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps.
Schools such as St Boniface RC Primary School are buildings too, and 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. For landlords with property near Tooting station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The amount of work
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tooting
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
