Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Shellwood Cross
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We are often asked to deal with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and water escaping at the shower enclosure, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
Somewhere as small as Shellwood Cross, 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Shellwood Cross
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Shellwood Cross, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shellwood Cross can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why Shellwood Cross clients choose us
- We agree the colour with you first
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- 20+ years of sealant experience
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
Shellwood Cross questions
Is Shellwood Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Holmwood station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
