How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
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. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

St Michaels questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in St Michaels?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you cover smaller places like St Michaels?
Yes, St Michaels is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in St Michaels?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long will the resealing take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What bathroom resealing looks like in St Michaels
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. St Michaels has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like St Michaels, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What else we do in St Michaels
Surface by surface
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as St Michaels, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- 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.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:

- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
