About bathroom resealing in N1
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. Common call-outs are for leaks into the floor or ceiling below and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, across kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the amount of work.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.

Where we work in N1
Across N1, from St Pancras, Shoreditch and Hoxton 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.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in N1 is planned around the forecast.
Hoxton: If you live in an older home near Church of St Anne with St Columba, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Hoxton 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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally will not remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Landlord and commercial work in N1
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Leave it or put it right?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
N1: your questions answered
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
