Your questions about bathroom resealing in Scragged Oak
Will you come out to Scragged Oak?
Yes, Scragged Oak is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Bearsted station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Scragged Oak.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
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. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can I do it myself?
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as Scragged Oak, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Scragged Oak can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Scragged Oak homes and their sealant

If you let a flat or house near Bearsted station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

How the job changes 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.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
