About bathroom resealing in WD5
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath panel and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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.

Bathroom resealing across WD5: local notes
In WD5, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Woodside, Abbots Langley and Leavesden to the quieter places in between. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building.
Abbots Langley: Letting a property close to Kings Langley station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tanners Wood Junior Mixed and Infant School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that is easy
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why deal with it now?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Are they insured?
What we’re called out for in WD5
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
WD5 questions
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Is white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
