How bathroom resealing works in SE9
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black spots spreading through the bead and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- 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.

Where we work in SE9
Our bathroom resealing work across SE9 covers homes, rentals and businesses, in Eltham, Sidcup and Chislehurst and well beyond. 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.
Eltham: Letting a property close to Mottingham station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Managing a site like St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What we’re called out for in SE9
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A leaking waste, trap or valve

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.

Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
