What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Parkgate needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How we handle bathroom resealing in Parkgate
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. 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 wet rooms, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant on the screen profile and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Being in a small place like Parkgate makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands

Common problems we fix in Parkgate
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Managing a site like Homewood School? Then 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.
Questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Parkgate
Will you come out to Parkgate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is bathroom resealing in Parkgate guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Parkgate?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
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 does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
