How bathroom resealing works in SW17

A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. Typical jobs include shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms.

There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, including the tidy-up.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

What affects the price in SW17

Near you in Colliers Wood

Around Colliers Wood, our work takes us to homes and buildings near St Nicholas, The Royal Standard pub and Graveney School. Also close by are Figge's Marsh (0.5 miles south-east), Ensham School (0.5 miles north-east) and Sellincourt Primary School (less than half a mile north). There’s a railway station in Colliers Wood itself: Tooting station. A little further out are Grove Hospital (0.6 miles north) and Wandle Industrial Museum (1.2 miles south). Not far away are Henman Hill and Myrna Close.

Where we work in SW17

Homes across SW17 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Wimbledon, Colliers Wood and Tooting. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in SW17, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.

Colliers Wood: As a London address, Colliers Wood can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you let a flat or house near Tooting station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
  • Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
  • Move toiletries away from the joint
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting

Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. A dry joint lasts longer.

A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

Landlord and commercial work in SW17

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Different surfaces, different methods

Shower trays & enclosures

There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Baths

The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.

Common problems we fix in SW17

The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Common reasons people contact us include:

  • A reseal done over the top of the old bead
  • Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
  • A joint torn by a bath that flexes

Do the sealants smell?

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
