Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Bowcombe
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We’re often asked to deal with a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and smears of silicone across the tiles, across kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks.
Around Bowcombe, 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and is not stretched when it’s used.
Bowcombe 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Bowcombe. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
In the older streets around Church of St. Nicholas in Castro, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Bowcombe
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Managing a site like Christ The King College? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What product goes in the joint
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Worktop joints fail quietly. 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.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Bowcombe, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What else we do in Bowcombe
Common questions in Bowcombe
Do you cover smaller places like Bowcombe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Bowcombe?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bowcombe is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
