When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Failed grout lines across the wall
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Brookstreet
Across Brookstreet, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and smears of silicone across the tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Brookstreet, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
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?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Brookstreet
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
What affects the quote in Brookstreet
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Brookstreet
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Managing a site like The Flitch Green Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What insurance they hold
Bathroom resealing in Brookstreet: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Brookstreet, 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.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Brookstreet
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Brookstreet?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Brookstreet in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Brookstreet is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
