Bathroom resealing across SW2: what to expect

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath panel and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, including the tidy-up.

  1. Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

What’s near Brixton

Typical jobs here are in homes near Trinity Academy, Trinity Congregational Church and Trinity Arms and the streets around them. You’ll also find Sudbourne Primary School (under half a mile west), Trinity Academy (under half a mile south-west) and Max Roach Park (0.7 miles north). There’s a railway station in Brixton itself: Brixton station. Well-known places in the area include London General Cab Company Museum (0.9 miles north) and Baynard's Castle (3.8 miles north). For a walk, there’s Battersea Park Lake and Centre for Wildlife Gardening.

Bathrooms and kitchens across SW2

From Streatham, Herne Hill and Brixton to its smaller places, homes across SW2 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in SW2, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.

Brixton: If you look after a building such as Sudbourne Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Trinity Congregational Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Can I do it myself?

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 does not work out, we can still put it right.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

For landlords and businesses

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.

How the job changes by surface

Sinks & splashbacks

Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.

Basins & vanity units

Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.

When something else is needed

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through
