Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
West Kensington questions
Do you take on hotel work around West Kensington?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in West Kensington?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you come to West Kensington?
Yes. We cover West Kensington. To book, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What bathroom resealing looks like in West Kensington
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Kensington Olympia station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. West Kensington is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Managing a site like The Fulham Boys School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported

Where we work in West Kensington
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Do not 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 it’s worth doing now in West Kensington
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in West Kensington, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- We never seal over old sealant
- 12-month guarantee on every job

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen for a typical job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in West Kensington. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
