Bathroom resealing in Downside, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
Around Downside, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why it’s worth doing now in Downside
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Downside can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why Downside clients choose us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Bathroom resealing in Downside: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as St Matthew's CofE Aided Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Downside questions
Is Downside in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Downside is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Downside
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
Homes close to St Michael's Chapel include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Downside, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
