What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as West End, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Bathroom resealing in West End, done properly
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We are often asked to deal with a joint torn by a bath that flexes and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, across wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
For a small place like West End, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Why act early in West End
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Around West End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
FAQs for West End
Is West End in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West End is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chestfield & Swalecliffe station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What bathroom resealing looks like in West End
West End is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Thornden Wood Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Chestfield & Swalecliffe station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
