Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Aldworth
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about gaps between the worktop and the wall and black spots spreading through the bead.
Being in a small place like Aldworth 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
When to call us in Aldworth
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Managing a site like The Downs School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if the job turns out different
- The length of the guarantee
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Aldworth
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
What happens if it’s left?
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 a small place like Aldworth, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Aldworth, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
