Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Red Hill
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks into the floor or ceiling below and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Somewhere as small as Red Hill, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

FAQs for Red Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Red Hill?
Yes, Red Hill is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Red Hill?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Red Hill is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Bathroom resealing in Red Hill: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Wateringbury station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.

What we’re called out for in Red Hill
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Schools such as Wateringbury Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- Are they insured?
