What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Bathroom resealing in Dunkirk, done properly
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps between the worktop and the wall and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
In a village or hamlet like Dunkirk, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Bathroom resealing around Dunkirk
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.
Letting a property close to Selling station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

For landlords 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.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as Dunkirk, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Dunkirk questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Selling station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Dunkirk?
Yes, Dunkirk is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What we are called out for in Dunkirk
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why act early in Dunkirk
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dunkirk, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
