Pratt's Bottom: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a job in Pratt's Bottom?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I let a flat near Knockholt station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Pratt's Bottom
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Common call-outs are for leaks into the floor or ceiling below and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Pratt's Bottom are no different.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What affects the quote in Pratt's Bottom
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why deal with it now?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- We agree the colour with you first

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Bathroom resealing in Pratt's Bottom: local notes
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
Letting a property close to Knockholt station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. As a London address, Pratt's Bottom can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What we’re called out for in Pratt's Bottom
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Homes close to All Souls' Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
- Is VAT in the price?
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Pratt's Bottom. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
