East Stourmouth: your questions answered
Is East Stourmouth within the area you cover?
Yes. East Stourmouth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is East Stourmouth in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and East Stourmouth is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How we handle bathroom resealing in East Stourmouth
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and failed sealant on the screen profile.
In a village or hamlet like East Stourmouth, 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 as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

East Stourmouth 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.
Letting a property close to Minster station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
What happens if it’s left?
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, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Stourmouth, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in East Stourmouth
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere like East Stourmouth needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
