DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Around Chelwood Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Tidy, careful work
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We never seal over old sealant

Chelwood Common questions
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Chelwood Common?
All our work, in Chelwood Common and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Chelwood Common for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chelwood Common is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Chelwood Common?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Other services in Chelwood Common
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Chelwood Common
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Chelwood Gate Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Danehill Church of England Primary School, 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.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Chelwood Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
