- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
How we handle bathroom resealing in Acol
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 are often asked to deal with two layers of silicone, both failing and black spots spreading through the bead, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Acol, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
FAQs for Acol
Can you do bathroom resealing in Acol?
Yes, Acol is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is Acol within the area you cover?
Yes, Acol is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Acol can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Other services in Acol
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere like Acol needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Bathroom resealing in Acol: local notes
Acol is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near St Mildreds Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Birchington-On-Sea station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Managing a site like Birchington Church of England Primary School? Then 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.
Acol is about 4 miles south-west of Margate, in Kent. Jobs in Acol get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
