What should I tell you?

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
About our bathroom resealing in Waterham
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures.
Somewhere as small as Waterham, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Around Waterham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What we’re called out for in Waterham
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hernhill Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Bathroom resealing around Waterham
Waterham is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.

What else we do in Waterham
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
