Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Shorne Ridgeway
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and water escaping at the shower enclosure.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Shorne Ridgeway
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Higham station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Shorne Ridgeway?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shorne Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a village or hamlet like Shorne Ridgeway, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Common questions in Shorne Ridgeway
Is Shorne Ridgeway within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Higham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
What colours of sealant can you use?
There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
