A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
About our bathroom resealing in Alphamstone
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. If you have gaps where the bath or tray has moved and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, we can help.
Around Alphamstone, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. A dry joint lasts longer.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Alphamstone homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Bures station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Questions from Alphamstone
Is Alphamstone within the area you cover?
Yes, Alphamstone is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bures station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures

- Kitchen worktops & upstands
When to call us in Alphamstone
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Look out for any of the following:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Barnabas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if the job turns out different

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere like Alphamstone needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
