- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen in most cases. Somewhere like High Cross needs a little journey planning: 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Bathroom resealing in High Cross
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you have a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and splits where the tray meets the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around High Cross, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common questions in High Cross
Is High Cross in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, High Cross is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Crowborough station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Bathroom resealing around High Cross
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rotherfield Primary School, 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. Rented homes near Crowborough 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.

What we are called out for in High Cross
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Denys, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.

A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
