Our bathroom resealing service in UB3
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and smears of silicone across the tiles.
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How we quote
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

The nearest railway station is Hayes & Harlington station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.

For a walk, there’s Middle Lake and Yeading Brook Meadows.
Where we work in UB3
From Hayes, Cranford and Harlington to its smaller places, homes across UB3 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in UB3, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Hayes: In the older streets around Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Hayes is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
If you are in UB3 and need bathroom resealing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before we start.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in UB3
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
