Our bathroom resealing service in KT16
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the kitchen upstand and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Where we work in KT16
In KT16, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Chertsey, Ottershaw and Penton Hook to the quieter places in between. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across KT16 is planned around the weather.
Chertsey: If you look after a building such as St Anne's Catholic 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. Rented homes near Chertsey station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in KT16 can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why it fails
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
KT16: your questions answered
Is white the only colour available?
You are not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We can help you pick when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. You’ll know how long to expect before any work starts.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
