Sealant work in EC4V

Bathroom resealing across EC4V: what to expect

Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a photo of the joints, and we will give you a clear price before any work starts. Common call-outs are for leaking joints on a shower screen and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

  1. Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

What you’ll pay

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Bathrooms and kitchens across EC4V

In EC4V, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Bankside to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across EC4V is planned around the weather.

City of London: As a London address, City of London can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Homes close to St Olave Old Jewry include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens if it’s left?

Sorting it now is quick: the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.

What your quote should include

  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • What insurance they hold

When something else is needed

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through
  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant

Signs you need bathroom resealing

Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
  • Gaps between the worktop and the wall
  • Water getting behind the bath panel
  • Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away

Landlords, agents and businesses in EC4V

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Aftercare tips

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the silicone its full cure time
  • Wipe the sealant dry after showering
  • Move toiletries away from the joint
  • Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth

Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is generally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.

Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

Questions from EC4V

Can new silicone go straight over the old?

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.

When can I use the bath or shower again?

Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.

What information do you need?

Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?

Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.

Is white the only colour available?

We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
