Shalstone Bathroom Resealing
Our applicators work in Shalstone on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. For a village or hamlet like Shalstone, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

How we handle bathroom resealing in Shalstone
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you have a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and splits where the tray meets the wall, we can help, on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks alike.
Somewhere as small as Shalstone, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Shalstone
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In and around Shalstone, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the quote in Shalstone
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

When to call us in Shalstone
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Edward, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long to leave it before use
- Are they insured?
Leave it or put it right?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around Shalstone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
