What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom and we leave things clean and tidy. A visit to Ratton Village is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Ratton Village
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Typical jobs include water getting behind the kitchen upstand and leaking joints on a shower screen, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Homes around Ratton Village range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What else we do in Ratton Village
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Ratton Village
Ratton Village is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Ocklynge Junior School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Hampden Park station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Questions from Ratton Village
Will you come out to Ratton Village?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Ratton Village for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Ratton Village is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
If you’re in Ratton Village and need bathroom resealing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
Why deal with it now?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. In an older home around Ratton Village, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
