Our bathroom resealing service in EN9

Across EN9, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and people most often call us about gaps where the bath or tray has moved and water getting behind the bath panel.

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included for a typical job.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Bathrooms and kitchens across EN9

Our bathroom resealing work across EN9 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Waltham Abbey, Waltham Cross and Enfield Island Village to the quieter places in between. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building.

Waltham Abbey: Rented homes near Waltham Cross station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you look after a building such as Waltham Holy Cross Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

DIY versus a professional finish

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

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.

Leave it or put it right?

The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • What the cure time is

When it isn’t the sealant

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
  • A leaking waste, trap or valve

Common problems we fix in EN9

No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.

The most common problems we see are:

  • Water escaping at the shower enclosure
  • Water getting behind the bath panel
  • New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
  • Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Common questions in EN9

Does the resealing come with a guarantee?

Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.

My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?

Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.

How long before the new sealant can get wet?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

What colours of sealant can you use?

You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We can help you pick when we quote.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
