One-bathroom flat
The visit is planned so the 24 hour cure is the day you can wash elsewhere or wait.
En-suite and flat bathroom resealing
En-suite and flat resealing replaces sanitary silicone in a small bathroom, a one-bathroom flat, or a rental. Book it when the bead has failed and there is no second shower for the next morning. The silicone still needs 24 hours before water. Send a photo on the quote form, or WhatsApp the same details.
Who it is for
Who books a small-room reseal
Leaseholders and tenants with one bathroom. Landlords turning a flat around between tenancies. Hotels and small hospitality rooms that can spare the bathroom for a day, not an hour. Families who need the timing said in advance. We do not offer a same-evening shower.
Variants
The fittings this page covers
En-suite
A short bead in a tight room. Access, not length, is the issue.
End of tenancy
Mouldy beads cut out before the next inventory, with the room left curing.
Small hotel or let
A bathroom that must be booked out for the cure, not sold as ready the same night.
Scope
Included, and the jobs we will not call a reseal
Included in the visit
- The same cut-out and sanitary silicone as a house bathroom
- A cure plan you can tell a tenant or a household
- Work in a tight room without a claim that the shower is usable that night
- Quote from photos if access is by appointment
Outside this visit
- A shower you can use the same evening
- Staying overnight in the property
- Inventory clerk services or check-in cleaning
- Ignoring a building rule about hours. Tell us the block’s hours with the quote
How it is done
On the day
- 1
Agree the dry day
You pick a day when the bathroom can stay dry afterwards for 24 hours.
- 2
Reseal
Old silicone out, sanitary silicone in, including the tight corners an en-suite actually has.
- 3
Leave the room curing
No shower, bath, or splash on that bead until the next day.
- 4
Back in use
After 24 hours the room can be used. Ventilate it. A windowless flat bathroom moulds faster if it is shut up wet.
Symptoms
What you can see before you book
Only bathroom, failed bead
The leak will not wait, and neither will the cure. Both have to be in the plan.
Mould in a windowless room
The bead can be replaced. The room still needs a fan that actually runs.
End-of-tenancy black joints
Cut-out, not a bleach wipe, if the silicone itself is black.
Quote
What changes the price
The job is quoted. These are the factors, not a menu of fixed prices.
Room, not postcode theatre
A small en-suite can be less bead and more time, because the screen is close to the pan and the tray.
How many joints
Tray only, or tray, basin, and bath in the same let.
Access
Block hours, a concierge, or a tenant who must be in. Say that on the form. It changes the appointment, not the silicone.
After the visit
Prep, cure, and how long it lasts
Tell everyone in the flat the shower is off for 24 hours. Do not “just rinse” the tray. In a room with no window, run the fan after the cure whenever the shower is used.
The bead lasts as it would in a house, often less time if the flat bathroom has no window and the fan is unused. That is ventilation, not a different silicone. Renewal is the same cut-out when the joint splits.
DIY
When a tube is the wrong tool
In a one-bathroom flat the cost of a failed DIY bead is a second day without a shower. If you cannot leave the room dry tomorrow, do not start a tube tonight.
Questions
Questions about en-suite and flat resealing
Can you reseal the only bathroom in a flat?
Yes. Book a day when nobody needs that shower for the following 24 hours. The silicone does not cure faster because the flat has one bathroom.
Do you work in rentals and for landlords?
Yes. Send the postcode, whether a tenant will be in, and which joints have failed. End-of-tenancy mouldy beads are a cut-out and replace, not a wipe.
Can a hotel bathroom be used the same night?
No. Budget the room out of use until 24 hours after the bead is finished. Same-day silicone that is showered on that night will mark.
Are en-suites quoted differently?
They are quoted on the joints and the access, not on a flat-rate “small room” that ignores a screen hard against the tray. Photos show the difference.
