How bathroom resealing works in WC2B
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are mouldy sealant that has gone black and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
What affects the price in WC2B
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Where we work in WC2B
Homes across WC2B range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Temple, Clare Market and Temple Bar there’s plenty of rented property too. 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. For any job in WC2B, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Temple Bar: Managing a site like St Clement Danes CofE Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Temple Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
Landlord and commercial work in WC2B
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Your questions about bathroom resealing in WC2B
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Do you come to WC2B?
Yes. We cover WC2B and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
