Bathroom resealing in Ditton Hill
Homes in Ditton Hill have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. If you have damp behind the bath or under the tray and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, we can put it right, on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Ditton Hill more than a cosmetic job.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a job in Ditton Hill, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Ditton Hill: your questions answered
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Ditton Hill?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Could a tired shower seal in my Ditton Hill flat affect the neighbours below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Ditton Hill and the rest of Greater London, along with the rest of our area.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
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.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When to call us in Ditton Hill
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Letting a property close to Surbiton station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Ditton Hill
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Ditton Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
