Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Wallington, Greater London
Baths, showers and worktops in Wallington need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Bathroom resealing in Wallington
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath panel and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Wallington are no different.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Wallington and everywhere else we cover.

Wallington: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a job in Wallington?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wallington station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
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.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Wallington
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
If you let a flat or house near Wallington station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on how much there is to do. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Wallington. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
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.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

What else we do in Wallington
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
