- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Pedlars End
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. Typical jobs include damp behind the bath or under the tray and smears of silicone across the tiles, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Homes around Pedlars End are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Pedlars End homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Moreton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a small place like Pedlars End, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.

- Tell us about any water getting in

FAQs for Pedlars End
Can you do bathroom resealing in Pedlars End?

Do you cover smaller places like Pedlars End?
Yes, Pedlars End is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Pedlars End?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
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.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What we are called out for in Pedlars End
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
