Bathroom resealing in Lower Green
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We’re often asked to deal with shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms.
For a small place like Lower Green, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Lower Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Green?
Yes, Lower Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Lower Green?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Lower Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Common problems we fix in Lower Green
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
In and around Lower Green, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether VAT is included
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures

Lower Green homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evangelist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Green
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around Lower Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Lower Green, 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 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
