About our bathroom resealing in Sole Street
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Homes around Sole Street are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take 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 Sole Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sole Street
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Why act early in Sole Street
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In a small place like Sole Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Full insurance on every job
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Sole Street
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Cobham Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around St Mary's Room, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

When to call us in Sole Street
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually won’t clean off.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
If you let a flat or house near Sole Street station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Do you cover smaller places like Sole Street?

Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
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 need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
