Bathroom resealing in Dorking, done properly
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We’re often asked to deal with leaking joints on a shower screen and mouldy sealant that has gone black, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms.
Plenty of homes in a town like Dorking have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years. Sealant run over the top of an old bead is a common cause of leaks and mould, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Dorking
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Managing a site like St Paul's CofE (Aided) Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Dorking homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Dorking. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
In the older streets around Church of St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Dorking Deepdene station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen from start to finish. For a job in Dorking, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- 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.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
