Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Locks Heath
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We are often asked to deal with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
In a smaller place like Locks Heath, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
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.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
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.
When to call us in Locks Heath
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
If you live in an older home near St John, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Locks Heath
Locks Heath is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Swanwick station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you look after a building such as Park Gate Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Locks Heath
Is Locks Heath in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Locks Heath is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Locks Heath?
Yes. Locks Heath 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.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Locks Heath.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. A visit to Locks Heath is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
