How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Plaistow
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you are dealing with two layers of silicone, both failing and water getting behind the bath panel, we can help, whatever the surface.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Plaistow, bathroom resealing is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Plaistow. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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 to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Plaistow
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Plaistow. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Memorial Community Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near West Ham station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

When to call us in Plaistow
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
As a London address, Plaistow can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Is parking a problem for a job in Plaistow?
Parking in Plaistow, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
