Questions from Benenden
Do you cover smaller places like Benenden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Benenden for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Benenden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Benenden
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and leaking joints on a shower screen, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Around Benenden, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common problems we fix in Benenden
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
If you look after a building such as Benenden Church of England Primary School, 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.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Landlord and commercial work in Benenden
If you manage several properties in or around Benenden, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers from start to finish. Somewhere like Benenden 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.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
Bathrooms and kitchens in Benenden
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St George, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why deal with it now?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Benenden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
