Bathroom resealing across EC1M: what to expect
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. Common call-outs are for mouldy sealant that has gone black and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units.
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included for a typical job.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Bathrooms and kitchens across EC1M
Across EC1M, from Blackfriars outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in EC1M is planned around the forecast.
Blackfriars: Letting a property close to London Blackfriars station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Homes close to St Ann Blackfriars include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in EC1M
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
If you manage several properties in or around EC1M, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in EC1M
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
EC1M: your questions answered
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in EC1M?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
