How bathroom resealing works in BR8
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and we will send you a clear quote before any work starts. Common call-outs are for splits where the tray meets the wall and two layers of silicone, both failing, on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
What affects the price in BR8
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Bathroom resealing across BR8: local notes
Homes across BR8 range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Swanley, Hextable and Crockenhill. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in BR8, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Swanley: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Bartholomew's Catholic Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Swanley station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in BR8 can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Common problems we fix in BR8
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. 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. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Why act early?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it.

BR8: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in BR8.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we’re fully insured.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
