Bathroom resealing in N9: how it works

It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. Typical jobs include sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and water escaping at the shower enclosure, on baths, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.

  1. First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
  2. We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
  4. A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
  5. Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Where we work in N9

Our bathroom resealing work across N9 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Edmonton, Bush Hill Park and Upper Edmonton 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.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in N9, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

Edmonton: Managing a site like Brettenham Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Edmonton is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Signs you need bathroom resealing

Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
  • Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
  • Failed sealant on the screen profile

Can I do it myself?

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.

If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What happens if it’s left?

Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: 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

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • How long the guarantee is
  • Are they insured?
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Different surfaces, different methods

Baths

A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not stretched when it’s used.

Wet rooms

Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.

What sealant work can’t fix

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:

  • A leaking waste, trap or valve
  • A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)

N9: your questions answered

Can you just seal over the old silicone?

No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.

Is it messy?

Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Do you guarantee your resealing?

Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we’re fully insured.

Do you come to N9?

Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

How much does bathroom resealing cost in N9?

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.

What do you put in the joint?

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
