Common problems we fix in Chaldon
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
If you let a flat or house near Caterham station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

About our bathroom resealing in Chaldon
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Homes around Chaldon are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
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.

How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Chaldon, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Chaldon questions
Is Chaldon within the area you cover?
Yes. Chaldon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Caterham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Why act early in Chaldon
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a small place like Chaldon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Chaldon
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like St Peter and St Paul CofE Infant School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
