About our bathroom resealing in Claygate
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. Common call-outs are for black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and water escaping at the shower enclosure, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Somewhere as small as Claygate, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Claygate
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Claygate, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Claygate can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.

How long does a bath or shower reseal take?

Where are you based?

Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
