Bathroom resealing in W4: how it works
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, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about splits where the tray meets the wall and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and the area is left clean.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Bathrooms and kitchens across W4
Homes across W4 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Acton, Hammersmith and Acton Green. 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. Whatever the job in W4, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.
Acton Green: Letting a property close to South Acton station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Managing a site like Ark Priory Primary Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Common problems we fix in W4
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally won’t clean off.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Landlord and commercial work in W4
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
Your questions about bathroom resealing in W4
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
