About bathroom resealing in DA14
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Typical jobs include black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

What’s near Sidcup
We work in homes and buildings around The Alma pub, Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School and Holy Trinity Church and the streets around them. You’ll also find Birkbeck Primary School (less than half a mile south-east) and Waring Park (under half a mile east). There’s a railway station in Sidcup itself: Sidcup station.

Where we work in DA14
Across DA14, from Orpington, Sidcup and Bexley outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in DA14, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Sidcup: If you let a flat or house near Sidcup station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in DA14
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in DA14 and across Greater London. We can quote a run of properties together.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What affects the quote in DA14
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few photos by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
