About our bathroom resealing in Mapledurwell
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. Typical jobs include mouldy sealant that has gone black and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, across sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths.
Somewhere as small as Mapledurwell, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a small place like Mapledurwell, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
What bathroom resealing looks like in Mapledurwell
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.
In the older streets around Church of St. Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Hook station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Why act early in Mapledurwell
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. In a small place like Mapledurwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
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.
Mapledurwell: your questions answered
Is Mapledurwell in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Mapledurwell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Hook station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can I do 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.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
