Charing Heath homes and their sealant
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.
For landlords with property near Charing station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Charing Heath
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you have new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Charing Heath, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Charing Heath
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Look out for these signs:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Charing Heath, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
Why it’s worth doing now in Charing Heath
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. Around Charing Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Do not stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
