About bathroom resealing in E98

Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in E98. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.

  1. We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
  2. Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
  3. We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Where we work in E98

From East End of London to its smaller places, homes across E98 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in E98.

East End of London: East End of London is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods

Sinks & splashbacks

Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.

Shower trays & enclosures

Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.

Landlord and commercial work in E98

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

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for bathroom resealing

We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:

  • The size of the job
  • Whether the work is at height
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Mould in or behind the old joints

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

Helping us quote

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

  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • The rough size of the job

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Why it fails

Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
  • New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
  • Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
  • Smears of silicone across the tiles

Questions from E98

Can new silicone go straight over the old?

No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.

How long before the new sealant can get wet?

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.

Do you come to E98?

We do. E98 is part of the area we cover.

What colours of sealant can you use?

You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We can help you pick when we quote.

What does bathroom resealing cost?

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
