When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

About our bathroom resealing in Egerton
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it 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’re often asked to deal with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and smears of silicone across the tiles, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
Homes around Egerton are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere as small as Egerton, 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.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Bathroom resealing in Egerton: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, 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. If you let a flat or house near Pluckley station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Egerton
Will you come out to Egerton?
Yes. Egerton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Pluckley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Egerton
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. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
