About our bathroom resealing in South Street
Across South Street, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and water escaping at the shower enclosure, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Somewhere as small as South Street, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Bathrooms and kitchens in South Street
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Do you cover smaller places like South Street?
Yes, South Street is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. You will know how long to expect before work begins.
How the visit 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 morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as South Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sinks & splashbacks
