Bathroom resealing in Throwley Forstal
Across Throwley Forstal, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. If you are dealing with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and black spots spreading through the bead, we can put it right.
Around Throwley Forstal, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere as small as Throwley Forstal, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- 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, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. In a small place like Throwley Forstal, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Is it worth trying it myself?

White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Throwley Forstal
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 Michael and All Angels, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Give the silicone its full cure time
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 call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. 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.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures

- Sinks & splashbacks
What we are called out for in Throwley Forstal
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is VAT in the price?
