About our bathroom resealing in Akeley
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you’re dealing with a joint torn by a bath that flexes and mouldy sealant that has gone black, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Akeley makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we’re called out for in Akeley
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Schools such as Akeley Wood Senior School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which colour the sealant will be
What happens if it’s left?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In a small place like Akeley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Take a look at how sealant jobs are priced and what customers say.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Akeley
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary) include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as Akeley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
Akeley: your questions answered
Do you cover Akeley for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Akeley is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Akeley?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Akeley?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
