Bathroom Resealing in Milton Common
Bathroom resealing across Milton Common and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
About our bathroom resealing in Milton Common
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and failed sealant on the screen profile.
Around Milton Common, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
When to call us in Milton Common
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Homes close to Church of St Helen include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- What preparation is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Milton Common: your questions answered
Is bathroom resealing in Milton Common guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Milton Common within the area you cover?
Yes. Milton Common 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.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Milton Common?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Milton Common homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Milton Common, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Milton Common
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
