About bathroom resealing in E1W

Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.

  1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
  3. Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.

Where we work in E1W

In E1W, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Whitechapel, Spitalfields and Tower Hill and well beyond. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building.

Whitechapel: As a London address, Whitechapel can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Canon Barnett Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

For landlords and businesses

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Aftercare tips

Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:

  • Never pick at the silicone with a blade
  • Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
  • Give the silicone its full cure time
  • Do not let bottles sit on the bead

Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

What sealant work cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through
  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)

Common problems we fix in E1W

Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Mouldy sealant that has gone black
  • A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
  • A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
  • Water escaping at the shower enclosure

What affects the quote in E1W

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The type of sealant required
  • The number and length of the joints
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • The type of property
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy

Common questions in E1W

Should I try DIY first?

Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Where are you based?

We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?

No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.

Can I choose the colour of the sealant?

White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.

Do you work in E1W?

We do. Our applicators work in E1W.

Will you leave a mess?

Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
