About bathroom resealing in EC4Y
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. Common call-outs are for mouldy sealant that has gone black and failed sealant on the screen profile, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units.
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Bathroom resealing across EC4Y: local notes
EC4Y has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Bankside there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
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 EC4Y is planned around the forecast.
Bankside: Bankside is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Rented homes near London Blackfriars 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.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in EC4Y
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
EC4Y questions
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in EC4Y?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Is white the only colour available?
You’re not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
