What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Withermarsh Green
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We are often asked to deal with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks.
Around Withermarsh Green, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

FAQs for Withermarsh Green
Do you cover smaller places like Withermarsh Green?
Yes, Withermarsh Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Withermarsh Green for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Withermarsh Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What affects the quote in Withermarsh Green
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Surface by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Bathroom resealing around Withermarsh Green
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.

Common problems we fix in Withermarsh Green
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
For jobs in and around Withermarsh Green, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Withermarsh Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
