Bathroom resealing in Cranbrook
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and two layers of silicone, both failing.
Homes around Cranbrook range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Cranbrook: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Cranbrook?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Cranbrook?
Yes, Cranbrook is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
Leave it or put it right?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In an older home around Cranbrook, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

Can I do it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What we are called out for in Cranbrook
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Water getting behind the bath panel
For an older house near a landmark such as Congregational Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is chosen

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.

- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
