Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Mortimer
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for damp behind the bath or under the tray and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, across baths, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms.
Around Mortimer, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Bathroom resealing around Mortimer
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.
For landlords with property near Mortimer station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Mortimer St John's C.E. Infant School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and the area is left clean. In a smaller place like Mortimer, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints

What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Mortimer
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
In the older streets around Mortimer Methodist Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Common questions in Mortimer
Do you cover Mortimer for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Mortimer is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Mortimer?
Yes, Mortimer is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
