Our bathroom resealing service in NW11
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. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are leaking joints on a shower screen and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Bathroom resealing across NW11: local notes
Homes across NW11 range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Hampstead, Finchley and East Finchley there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
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 NW11 is planned around the forecast.
Temple Fortune: Temple Fortune is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Rented homes near Brent Cross West station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Why it fails
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is VAT in the price?
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Letting agents and landlords in NW11 can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Questions from NW11
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Usually after around 24 hours. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. You’ll know how long to expect before work begins.
