About bathroom resealing in BR5
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in BR5. Common call-outs are for gaps where the bath or tray has moved and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, across kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on the size of the job.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Where we work in BR5
From Orpington, Bromley and St Mary Cray to its smaller places, homes across BR5 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in BR5, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.
Orpington: For landlords with property near St Mary Cray station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Orpington is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Common problems we fix in BR5
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
BR5: your questions answered
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Greater London.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
