What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Lower Bush, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
What we are called out for in Lower Bush
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
In the older streets around Church of St Michael and All Angels, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What we cannot put right

Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Around Lower Bush, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
If you manage several properties in or around Lower Bush, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Lower Bush
Can you do bathroom resealing in Lower Bush?
Yes, Lower Bush is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Lower Bush?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
