What sealant work cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Surfaces we seal

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

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Wittersham

Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.

Somewhere as small as Wittersham, 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.

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

Why act early in Wittersham

Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wittersham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.

If you manage several properties in or around Wittersham, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

Should I try it myself first?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Wittersham

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.

Letting a property close to Rye station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St John the Baptist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What the job involves on each surface

Sinks & splashbacks

Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.

Basins & vanity units

Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.

What we are called out for in Wittersham

No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A joint torn by a bath that flexes
  • Gaps between the worktop and the wall
  • Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
  • A reseal done over the top of the old bead

Managing a site like Wittersham Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How it works

We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a small place like Wittersham, access is usually 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. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Questions from Wittersham

Is Wittersham in your area for bathroom resealing?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wittersham is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.

I let a flat near Rye station. Can you help?

Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?

No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.

Will there be a smell?

That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

How long before the new sealant can get wet?

Generally after around 24 hours. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.

How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?

Allow half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. You will know how long to expect before we start.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
