Halfway Street questions
Is Halfway Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Halfway Street for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Halfway Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Bathroom resealing in Halfway Street
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Typical jobs include failed sealant on the screen profile and mouldy sealant that has gone black, across basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Being in a small place like Halfway Street makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Halfway Street?
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Black spots spreading through the bead
Letting a property close to Shepherds Well station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

What else we do in Halfway Street
Can I do it myself?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Halfway Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Halfway Street
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
