Bathroom resealing for West Silvertown homes and businesses

Landlord and commercial work in West Silvertown

We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Bathroom resealing in West Silvertown

Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.

In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in West Silvertown are no different.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens if it’s left?

Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in West Silvertown, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What you get with us

  • Domestic, commercial and hotel work
  • A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
  • Full insurance on every job
  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Read our cost guide or customer reviews.

Can I do it myself?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What we seal

  • Wet rooms
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Basins & vanity units

Bathroom resealing around West Silvertown

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around West Silvertown. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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.

Rented homes near Custom House station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. As a London address, West Silvertown can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. In the older streets around St Barnabas' Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.

Is there any odour?

Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?

Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

What affects the quote in West Silvertown

You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:

  • When we can work, for business premises
  • The size of the job
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Whether the work is at height

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What we need to know

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
  • Dry worktop joints after washing up
  • Move toiletries away from the joint
  • Open a window or run the fan so the room dries

In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.

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.

How it works

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In West Silvertown, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
