Bathroom Resealing in Southwater
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Southwater? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Southwater
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you have a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths alike.
In a smaller place like Southwater, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Southwater
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Southwater Infant Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Holy Innocents Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What colours of sealant can you use?
There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
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’ll know how long to expect before work begins.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Southwater, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Common problems we fix in Southwater
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
For landlords with property near Christs Hospital station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
