Bathroom resealing across DA5: what to expect
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and we will give you a clear quote before any work starts. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and people most often call us about mouldy sealant that has gone black and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across DA5: local notes
DA5 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Dartford, Sidcup and Bexley there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in DA5.
Bexley: Schools such as Old Bexley Church of England School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St John the Evangelist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Leave it or put it right?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the colour is chosen
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
Landlord and commercial work in DA5
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
For anyone letting property in or around DA5, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Failed grout lines across the wall
DA5: your questions answered
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
