Bathroom Resealing in Woking
Bathroom resealing across Woking and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Where a business in Woking needs to stay open, out-of-hours working can be arranged, while home visits are arranged within our normal working hours, Monday to Saturday.
- 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
About our bathroom resealing in Woking
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you have mouldy sealant that has gone black and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
A place the size of Woking has homes of every age, from older terraces to town-centre flats and newer developments. Whatever the age of the home, sealant and grout in bathrooms and kitchens wear out in the end.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Bathroom resealing in Woking: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Goldsworth Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary of Bethany, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Woking station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally won’t remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

Why deal with it now?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In flats, shops and offices in Woking, a failed joint can let water into the unit below or behind a wall, where it’s often found late and is bigger to put right.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

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.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
