Mastic and sealant across RH5

Bathroom resealing across RH5: what to expect

A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a photo of the joints, and we will give you a clear price for bathroom resealing in RH5. Typical jobs include shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and damp behind the bath or under the tray, across basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands.

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on the size of the job.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
  4. Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
  5. The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Where we work in RH5

Across RH5, from Dorking, North Holmwood and Pixham outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in RH5, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

North Holmwood: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John's Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Dorking West station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Different surfaces, different methods

Basins & vanity units

Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.

Shower trays & enclosures

A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.

When something else is needed

In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant

Keeping the joints in good condition

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:

  • Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
  • Move toiletries away from the joint
  • Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints

Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.

Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens if it’s left?

A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal.

FAQs for RH5

Is it messy?

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.

Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?

Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?

It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can I use the bath or shower again?

The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
