About bathroom resealing in UB6
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
What you’ll pay
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Where we work in UB6
In UB6, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Southall, Greenford and Northolt and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in UB6.
Greenford: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oldfield Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Greenford station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
What we are called out for in UB6
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
What happens if it’s left?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in UB6
Do you cover UB6?
Yes, we do. UB6 is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
