Bathroom resealing in NW1: how it works
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, and you will get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in NW1. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is from start to finish.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Where we work in NW1
Our bathroom resealing work across NW1 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Bloomsbury, Islington and Kings Cross to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
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.
Camden Town: If you live in an older home near St Michael's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Our Lady Roman Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Do not stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually won’t remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Common problems we fix in NW1
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
Quotes for bathroom resealing in NW1
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that is easy
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Leave it or put it right?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
NW1 questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
