About bathroom resealing in DA8
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about water getting behind the kitchen upstand and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on how much there is to do.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Pricing in DA8
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Bathroom resealing across DA8: local notes
Homes across DA8 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Erith, Belvedere and Northumberland Heath. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in DA8, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Erith: If you look after a building such as Christ Church (Erith) CofE Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. As a London address, Erith can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Why deal with it now?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Surface by surface
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and is not torn the first time it’s used.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the quote in DA8
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- What’s wrong with the joints now

DA8 questions
Is it worth trying it myself?
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 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.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
