About bathroom resealing in KT8
Across KT8, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and smears of silicone across the tiles.
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How we quote
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Bathroom resealing across KT8: local notes
In KT8, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Esher, Molesey and West Molesey to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in KT8, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Molesey: For landlords with property near Hampton Court station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Why it fails
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
Your questions about bathroom resealing in KT8
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
