Bathroom Resealing in Fickleshole

Bathroom resealing in Fickleshole, done properly
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include two layers of silicone, both failing and water escaping at the shower enclosure, on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
In a village or hamlet like Fickleshole, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Fickleshole
Do you work for landlords with property near Woldingham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Fickleshole within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom from start to finish. Somewhere like Fickleshole needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a small place like Fickleshole, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Fickleshole
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. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Bathroom resealing in Fickleshole: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Fairchildes Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Woldingham station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
