- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a small place like Friar's Gate, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Friar's Gate
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We’re often asked to deal with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and baths.
In a village or hamlet like Friar's Gate, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Friar's Gate
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. In a small place like Friar's Gate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Homes, businesses and hotels

What bathroom resealing looks like in Friar's Gate
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Eridge station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Managing a site like St John's Church of England Primary School? Then 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. Homes close to St John's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Common questions in Friar's Gate
Is Friar's Gate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Friar's Gate for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Friar's Gate is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
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.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
