Your questions about bathroom resealing in Sulham
Do you cover smaller places like Sulham?
Yes. Sulham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Pangbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Normally after around 24 hours. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
Bathroom resealing in Sulham
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and the jobs we see most are splits where the tray meets the wall and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Around Sulham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Sulham
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Sulham. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Pangbourne station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A sound joint along the back edge stops that.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What we are called out for in Sulham
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
If you look after a building such as Denefield School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a small place like Sulham, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
