Bathroom resealing in BR7: how it works
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a photo of the joints, and we’ll give you a clear price for bathroom resealing in BR7. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about two layers of silicone, both failing and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Bathrooms and kitchens across BR7
In BR7, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Orpington, Eltham and St Mary Cray and well beyond. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in BR7, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Chislehurst: Homes close to Parish Church The Annunciation Of Blessed Virgin Mary include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. As a London address, Chislehurst can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
Landlords, agents and businesses in BR7
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Landlords and agents in BR7 can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Why deal with it now?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite.

DIY versus a professional finish
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 matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
FAQs for BR7
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
