About bathroom resealing in SW10

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 shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant on the screen profile and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

For rail, the closest station is Imperial Wharf station, about 0.5 miles south.

Bathrooms and kitchens across SW10

SW10 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Chelsea, South Kensington and Parsons Green there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in SW10, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

World's End: If you look after a building such as Ashburnham Community 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. As a London address, World's End can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.

How the job changes by surface

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.

Sinks & splashbacks

Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.

Why deal with it now?

Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts.

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Aftercare tips

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Wait for the cure time we give you
  • Do not let bottles sit on the bead
  • Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
  • Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then

Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

Common problems we fix in SW10

Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Two layers of silicone, both failing
  • Water getting behind the bath panel
  • Gaps between the worktop and the wall
  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone

SW10 questions

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?

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. Good ventilation helps keep it away.

What should I tell you?

Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Which products do you use?

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 you work in SW10?

Yes. We cover SW10. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How long does a bath or shower reseal take?

That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.

Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?

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.
