Bathroom resealing in SW13: how it works
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. Common call-outs are for a reseal done over the top of the old bead and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures.
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.
- 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.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
What you’ll pay
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Bathrooms and kitchens across SW13
SW13 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Putney, Barnes and Mortlake there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
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.
Barnes: As a London address, Barnes can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. In the older streets around Barnes Methodist Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
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 act early?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes. If something else is wrong, we will tell you.

FAQs for SW13
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
