Bathroom resealing in North Cheam, done properly
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and people most often call us about a reseal done over the top of the old bead and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in North Cheam and across Greater London.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.

What else we do in North Cheam
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

North Cheam homes and their sealant
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near St Oswald Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. As a London address, North Cheam can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you look after a building such as Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In North Cheam, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Common questions in North Cheam
Is parking an issue for bathroom resealing in North Cheam?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I let a flat near West Sutton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
