About bathroom resealing in N1P
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are damp behind the bath or under the tray and smears of silicone across the tiles.
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Pricing in N1P

Bathroom resealing across N1P: local notes
From Hoxton, Angel and Pentonville to its smaller places, homes across N1P have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in N1P, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.
Hoxton: Homes close to Church of St Anne with St Columba include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Hoxton station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Questions from N1P
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in N1P.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we’re fully insured.
