Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Bathroom resealing in Nuffield
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you’re dealing with black spots spreading through the bead and splits where the tray meets the wall, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands alike.
Around Nuffield, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Nuffield
Can you do bathroom resealing in Nuffield?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Nuffield is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Nuffield within the area you cover?
Yes, Nuffield 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 hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Nuffield needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Nuffield
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Nuffield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Tidy, careful work
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Nuffield
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
