When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Farthing Street?
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Farthing Street
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Orpington station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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 any work starts.
I live in a flat in Farthing Street. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Do you cover Farthing Street?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, Farthing Street included.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on how much there is to do. In Farthing Street, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Bathroom resealing in Farthing Street: local notes
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
As a London address, Farthing Street can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
