How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Chilmington Green 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.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Bathroom resealing in Chilmington Green: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Great Chart Primary School? Then 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.

Common questions in Chilmington Green
Do you cover Chilmington Green for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chilmington Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Chilmington Green?
Yes, Chilmington Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Chilmington Green
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually won’t clean off.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How hidden problems are handled
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
