How bathroom resealing works in SW14
A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a photo of the joints, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are splits where the tray meets the wall and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is from start to finish.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Around Mortlake
We work in homes and buildings around Hare and Hounds pub, Thomson House School and Ibstock Place School. You will also find All Saints' Church (less than half a mile south-east), Richmond Park Academy (under half a mile south-east) and Palewell Park (0.5 miles south). There’s a railway station in Mortlake itself: Mortlake station. Other landmarks nearby include Ubuntu Museum: African Museum of Humanity (1.1 miles south-east) and Barnes Hospital (within half a mile east). For a walk, there’s Richmond Hill and Kew Gardens Lake.
Where we work in SW14
Our bathroom resealing work across SW14 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Richmond upon Thames, Barnes and Chiswick to the quieter places in between. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across SW14 is planned around the weather.
Mortlake: For landlords with property near Mortlake station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why deal with it now?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Why it fails
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
FAQs for SW14
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover SW14 and the rest of Greater London.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
