Bathroom resealing in Highmoor Cross, done properly
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. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about splits where the tray meets the wall and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Around Highmoor Cross, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
When to call us in Highmoor Cross
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
In the older streets around Church of St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What preparation is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Highmoor Cross 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.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Highmoor Cross
Do you cover Highmoor Cross for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Highmoor Cross is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Highmoor Cross?
Yes, Highmoor Cross is covered. 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 white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
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. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
