Bathroom resealing in Carlton Hill
Homes in Carlton Hill have the same weak spots as anywhere else: 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 baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and smears of silicone across the tiles.
Around Carlton Hill, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Other services in Carlton Hill
Do you need bathroom resealing in Carlton Hill?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
For an older house near a landmark such as Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they’re fully insured

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. For a job in Carlton Hill, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Carlton Hill: your questions answered
Will you come out to Carlton Hill?
Yes, Carlton Hill is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work in hotels near Carlton Hill?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
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.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
Why it’s worth doing now in Carlton Hill
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows. In an older home around Carlton Hill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
