Bathroom resealing across KT23: what to expect

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.

You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom in most cases.

  1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
  3. Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across KT23: local notes

From Great Bookham, Fetcham and Little Bookham to its smaller places, homes across KT23 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in KT23, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

Great Bookham: If you look after a building such as The Dawnay School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Bookham station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

  • Photos by email, if that is easy

Aftercare tips

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:

  • Squeegee the walls and tray after use
  • Dry worktop joints after washing up
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after every shower

Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

Landlords, agents and businesses in KT23

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

DIY versus a professional finish

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What happens if it’s left?

Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.

Questions from KT23

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.

Can new silicone go straight over the old?

No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.

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.

Is it worth trying it myself?

That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

How much does bathroom resealing cost in KT23?

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

What do you put in the joint?

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
