How we handle bathroom resealing in Bunce Common
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about gaps where the bath or tray has moved and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
For a small place like Bunce Common, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Bunce Common
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Betchworth station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Other services in Bunce Common
Should I try it myself first?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Bunce Common: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Betchworth station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Bunce Common within the area you cover?
Yes, Bunce Common 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.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in Bunce Common
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Common problems we fix in Bunce Common
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
In the older streets around Church of St Bartholomew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Before you book anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- The length of the guarantee
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Bunce Common 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.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
