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 fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Fleeden
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for splits where the tray meets the wall and black spots spreading through the bead, on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Homes around Fleeden are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Fleeden
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
For landlords with property near Pluckley station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Fleeden
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as John Wallis Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

Questions from Fleeden
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pluckley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Fleeden?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
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 I choose the colour of the sealant?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
