Pootings Bathroom Resealing
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Pootings? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
Bathroom resealing in Pootings, done properly
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every 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. If you have failed sealant on the screen profile and smears of silicone across the tiles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Pootings, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a village or hamlet like Pootings, the journey is planned in advance: 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 cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in Pootings
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Congregational Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Edenbridge station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

When to call us in Pootings
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Managing a site like Four Elms Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Pootings questions
Do you cover smaller places like Pootings?
Yes, Pootings is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Pootings?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Pootings is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a small place like Pootings, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
