Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Forge Wood
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant on the screen profile and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
Even in a smaller place like Forge Wood, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Forge Wood as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Forge Wood
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. Homes in smaller places like Forge Wood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in Forge Wood
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
Every job is quoted individually. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Forge Wood
Do you work in hotels near Forge Wood?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you cover smaller places like Forge Wood?
Yes. Forge Wood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Parking around Forge Wood is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- 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, usually after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
