What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
Over Norton homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Over Norton. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to St James include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Over Norton, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
For landlords 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.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why it’s worth doing now in Over Norton
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. In a small place like Over Norton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Over Norton?
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Schools such as Holy Trinity Catholic School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
