Bathroom resealing across SW18: what to expect
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We’re often asked to deal with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, across kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Where we work in SW18
In SW18, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Wimbledon, Clapham Junction and Battersea 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.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in SW18 is planned around the forecast.
Wandsworth: If you live in an older home near St Anne's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Wandsworth Town station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Failed grout lines across the wall
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in SW18
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
SW18: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in SW18?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
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.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
