Bathroom resealing in Shorwell
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have water getting behind the bath panel and black spots spreading through the bead, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Shorwell makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Shorwell
Is bathroom resealing in Shorwell guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Shorwell?
Yes. Shorwell is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a small place like Shorwell, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What bathroom resealing looks like in Shorwell
Shorwell is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Homes close to St. Peter's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we’re called out for in Shorwell
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Around Shorwell, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether you can choose the colour
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
