Bathroom resealing in Charlton
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are two layers of silicone, both failing and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Homes around Charlton range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Bathroom resealing in Charlton: local notes
Charlton has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job

Common questions in Charlton
Will you come out to Charlton?
Yes. Charlton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Charlton in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Charlton is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
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.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Charlton
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
If you look after a building such as Charlton Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a smaller place like Charlton, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
