Bathroom Resealing in Wood's Corner
Bathroom resealing across Wood's Corner and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
About our bathroom resealing in Wood's Corner
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Somewhere as small as Wood's Corner, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
What we are called out for in Wood's Corner
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Rented homes near Stonegate station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
- What the cure time is
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included in most cases. In a small place like Wood's Corner, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
What bathroom resealing looks like in Wood's Corner
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dallington 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. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Giles, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Wood's Corner questions
Will you come out to Wood's Corner?
Yes, Wood's Corner is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Stonegate station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we are fully insured.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.

Leave it or put it right?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. Around Wood's Corner, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
