West Hackney Bathroom Resealing
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in West Hackney? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
How we handle bathroom resealing in West Hackney
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Common call-outs are for new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and baths.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in West Hackney, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
West Hackney questions
Do you take on hotel work around West Hackney?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you work for landlords with property near Rectory Road station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a London area like West Hackney, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Signs you need bathroom resealing in West Hackney
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Rented homes near Rectory Road station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. 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. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
