About our bathroom resealing in Shalford
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
In a village or hamlet like Shalford, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
For landlords and businesses

Shalford homes and their sealant
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Shalford station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Why deal with it now?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. In a small place like Shalford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Shalford?
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
If you look after a building such as Shalford Infant School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Shalford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
