Bathroom resealing in Wanstead
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. If you have shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and splits where the tray meets the wall, we can put it right, on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why act early in Wanstead
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

What else we do in Wanstead
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Wanstead
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Leytonstone High Road station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Wanstead is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wanstead Church School, 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.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Wanstead
Is parking a problem for a job in Wanstead?
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.
I live in a flat in Wanstead. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Wanstead?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, including the tidy-up. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
