- Leaking joints on a shower screen
How we handle bathroom resealing in Tinkers Cross
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and people most often call us about black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Somewhere as small as Tinkers Cross, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Tinkers Cross
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
In and around Tinkers Cross, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Tinkers Cross questions
Do you cover Tinkers Cross for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tinkers Cross is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Tinkers Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. You’ll know how long to expect before we start.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we are fully insured.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Tinkers Cross needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Tinkers 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.
