Bathroom resealing in Fair Cross
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. Common call-outs are for sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and black spots spreading through the bead, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
For a small place like Fair Cross, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

When to call us in Fair Cross
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Homes close to Church of St. Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as Fair Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Basins & vanity units

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Fair Cross?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
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, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
