- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower for a typical job. In a small place like Upper Wellingham, access is generally the main thing to plan. 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.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler

Landlord and commercial work in Upper Wellingham
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Questions from Upper Wellingham
Do you work for landlords with property near Cooksbridge station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Upper Wellingham for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Upper Wellingham is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Bathroom resealing around Upper Wellingham
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.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Cooksbridge station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Managing a site like Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
