Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Balls Green
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. If you have new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, we can help.
Homes around Balls Green are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Landlord and commercial work in Balls Green
Landlords and letting agents in Balls Green can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
FAQs for Balls Green
Will you come out to Balls Green?
Yes. Balls Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Ashurst Kent station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Bathroom resealing around Balls Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Ashurst Kent station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Managing a site like St Michael's Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as Balls Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

Do you need bathroom resealing in Balls Green?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
For an older house near a landmark such as The church of St Michael and All Angels, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
