Our bathroom resealing service in EC1Y

With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across EC1Y. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and black spots spreading through the bead.

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.

  1. We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
  2. We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
  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 clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.

Bathrooms and kitchens across EC1Y

Across EC1Y, from Barbican Estate and Bishopsgate outwards, we see 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.

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in EC1Y, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

Barbican Estate: Rented homes near Moorgate station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. As a London address, Barbican Estate can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Leave it or put it right?

Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is VAT in the price?
  • The length of the guarantee
  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • What insurance they hold

Keeping the joints in good condition

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

  • Keep bottles off the sealant line
  • Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
  • Dry worktop joints after washing up
  • Never pick at the silicone with a blade

In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Why it fails

Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
  • Gaps between the worktop and the wall
  • Splits where the tray meets the wall
  • Leaks into the floor or ceiling below

Questions from EC1Y

Can you quote for more than one area?

Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured.

Will it make a mess?

No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?

Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.

Do the sealants smell?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
