About bathroom resealing in SE8
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, 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 sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
What you will pay
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Where we work in SE8
Our bathroom resealing work across SE8 covers homes, rentals and businesses, in New Cross, Greenwich and St Johns and well beyond. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in SE8.
New Cross: Rented homes near New Cross station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Myatt Garden Primary School, 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.
Why act early?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Landlords, agents and businesses in SE8
Letting agents and landlords in SE8 can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
