Bathroom resealing in Thorncross, done properly
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We are often asked to deal with leaks into the floor or ceiling below and water escaping at the shower enclosure, across baths, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands.
For a small place like Thorncross, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Thorncross as everywhere else we work.

Can you do bathroom resealing in Thorncross?
Yes, Thorncross is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Thorncross
Thorncross is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Thorncross, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 fails, we can still redo it.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Thorncross
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
If you live in an older home near St. Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Thorncross
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line doesn’t stand out.
