Bathroom & kitchen resealing in St James's, Greater London
Baths, showers and worktops in St James's need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in St James's
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you have smears of silicone across the tiles and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can put it right.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in St James's are no different.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Advice
Bathroom resealing around St James's
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around St James's. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
As a London address, St James's can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Letting a property close to London Charing Cross station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What we are called out for in St James's
Baths and trays move. 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.
Look out for these signs:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
In the older streets around St James’s Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Common questions in St James's
Can worn sealant in a flat in St James's cause a leak downstairs?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in St James's?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
How the job changes by surface
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 it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not torn the first time it’s used.
