Bathroom resealing near Upton Grey

Leave it or put it right?

A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upton Grey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

About our bathroom resealing in Upton Grey

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. If you have water getting behind the kitchen upstand and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Around Upton Grey, 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.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What sealant work can’t fix

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:

  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
  • A leaking waste, trap or valve
  • Failed grout lines across the wall

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What we seal

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Baths

How we quote for bathroom resealing

We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Access and height
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Any working-time requirements on site

Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • Roughly how big the job is
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • The address or postcode of the job

For bathroom resealing in Upton Grey, call 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.

Upton Grey: your questions answered

Do you cover smaller places like Upton Grey?

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do you work for landlords with property near Hook station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.

How much does bathroom resealing cost in Upton Grey?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.

Is there any odour?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.

What should I tell you?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

Can you just seal over the old silicone?

No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.

What we do, step by step

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Upton Grey, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

How to prepare

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How to look after the new joints

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
  • Wipe the sealant dry after showering
  • Give the silicone its full cure time
  • Keep bottles off the sealant line

Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.

A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upton Grey

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

Upton Grey homes and their sealant

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Letting a property close to Hook station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Should I try it myself first?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

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.
