- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Do not stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Birling
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
For a small place like Birling, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Birling
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

- The product the joint needs
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Questions from Birling
Will you come out to Birling?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near West Malling station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Birling 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 guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Birling needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Bathroom resealing around Birling
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Ryarsh Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
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.
