Bathroom resealing across IG8: what to expect
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We’re often asked to deal with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, across kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and wet rooms.
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, including the tidy-up.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
What you’ll pay
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Bathroom resealing across IG8: local notes
IG8 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Walthamstow, Woodford and South Woodford. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in IG8, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Woodford: For an older house near a landmark such as St Barnabas' Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Woodford is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in IG8
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
If you manage several properties in or around IG8, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Failed grout lines across the wall
Leave it or put it right?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
IG8: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we’re fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
