Bathroom resealing in Patching
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you’re dealing with gaps where the bath or tray has moved and black spots spreading through the bead, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Patching, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Patching as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
Bathroom resealing around Patching
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Goring-By-Sea station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Schools such as Clapham and Patching CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St John the Divine, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around Patching, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Patching, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

FAQs for Patching
Do you cover smaller places like Patching?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Goring-By-Sea station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What else we do in Patching
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
