Our bathroom resealing service in RH4
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and splits where the tray meets the wall.
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- 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.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
What you’ll pay
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Tidy, careful work
- Old sealant always removed completely

Where we work in RH4
RH4 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Dorking, North Holmwood and Westcott there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
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 RH4 is planned around the weather.
Dorking: Letting a property close to Dorking Deepdene station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Schools such as St Paul's CofE (Aided) Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
What we are called out for in RH4
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Landlord and commercial work in RH4
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
RH4 questions
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
