Signs you need bathroom resealing in Chiddingstone Hoath
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Leaking joints on a shower screen

What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chiddingstone Hoath can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
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 play a part.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Chiddingstone Hoath questions
Do you cover smaller places like Chiddingstone Hoath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cowden station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
