Bathroom resealing in Stone Cross
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are two layers of silicone, both failing and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
For a small place like Stone Cross, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Questions from Stone Cross
Do you cover Stone Cross for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Stone Cross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Ham Street station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
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.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You are not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Common problems we fix in Stone Cross
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Letting a property close to Ham Street station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- What preparation is included
- How long to leave it before use
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Stone Cross
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 and around Stone Cross, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Stone Cross, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What else we do in Stone Cross
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stone Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
