Bathroom resealing across EC1A: what to expect
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. Common call-outs are for a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and damp behind the bath or under the tray, across wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, including the tidy-up.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
What affects the price in EC1A
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Where we work in EC1A
Homes across EC1A range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like EC1A. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across EC1A is planned around the weather.
City of London: Managing a site like Fashion Retail Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near London Cannon Street station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Why it fails
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
How we quote for bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
You do not 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 something else is wrong, we will tell you.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Questions from EC1A
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in EC1A?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
