Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Elvington
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. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you have water getting behind the bath panel and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, we can put it right, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.
In a village or hamlet like Elvington, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we are called out for in Elvington
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
For landlords with property near Shepherds Well station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Elvington
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eythorne Elvington Community 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.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as Elvington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
Why deal with it now?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Around Elvington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
