How bathroom resealing works in TW15
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about a joint torn by a bath that flexes and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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 TW15
Across TW15, from Ashford, Ashford Common and Littleton Common outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across TW15 is planned around the weather.
Ashford: Letting a property close to Ashford Surrey station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around Parish Church of St Matthew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Why act early?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in TW15
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
