Bathroom Resealing in Forstal
Baths, showers and worktops in Forstal need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Forstal
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you’re dealing with splits where the tray meets the wall and water getting behind the bath panel, we can put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands alike.
Somewhere as small as Forstal, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the quote in Forstal
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere as small as Forstal, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

FAQs for Forstal
I let a flat near Aylesford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Forstal?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Forstal homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter's Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Aylesford station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. In the older streets around Methodist Church Including Sunday School, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
