About bathroom resealing in NW2
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for black spots spreading through the bead and failed sealant on the screen profile, across kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, including the tidy-up.
- 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.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
What affects the price in NW2
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Bathroom resealing across NW2: local notes
Our bathroom resealing work across NW2 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from West Hampstead, Neasden and Hendon to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in NW2, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Cricklewood: Letting a property close to Cricklewood station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you look after a building such as Anson Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Why it fails
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Common questions in NW2
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. You will know how long to expect before we start.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Do you come to NW2?
Yes. We work in NW2. For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
