Somerley questions
Can you do bathroom resealing in Somerley?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Somerley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Fishbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
How long will the resealing 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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You are not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
Bathroom resealing in Somerley, done properly
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you have gaps between the worktop and the wall and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Somerley, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
Landlord and commercial work in Somerley
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
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.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

- How we’d reach the joints

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Somerley
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Letting a property close to Fishbourne station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Somerley
Somerley is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
In the older streets around St James' Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Birdham CE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Somerley, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
