Bathroom resealing in Caterham, done properly
Across Caterham, 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. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
Plenty of homes in a town like Caterham have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years, some more than once. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, depending on the size of the job. In Caterham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- 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.

Caterham: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Caterham?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Caterham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Black mould and gaps in sealant don’t fix themselves, and in a busy household in Caterham they spread with every shower and every downpour. Now is the easy time to put it right.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

When to call us in Caterham
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
If you live in an older home near Sacred Heart Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
