Bathroom resealing in Claygate Cross, done properly
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 and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
Being in a small place like Claygate Cross makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Claygate Cross
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Borough Green & Wrotham station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around The Church of the Good Shepherd, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Claygate Cross
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In a small place like Claygate Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Claygate Cross
Will you come out to Claygate Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Is white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and is not torn the first time it’s used.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Common problems we fix in Claygate Cross
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Schools such as Borough Green Primary School are buildings too, and 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.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
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.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. 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.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a small place like Claygate Cross, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
