Bathroom resealing across SE17: what to expect
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are two layers of silicone, both failing and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Bathrooms and kitchens across SE17
In SE17, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Elephant and Castle, St George's Fields and Newington Butts and well beyond. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in SE17.
Elephant and Castle: In the older streets around Metropolitan Tabernacle, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Elephant & Castle station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Why deal with it now?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- What the cure time is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
If you manage several properties in or around SE17, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Common questions in SE17
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. You’ll know how long to expect before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you work in SE17?
Yes. We cover SE17 and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
