Goathurst Common 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.
If you let a flat or house near Sevenoaks station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ide Hill Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Bathroom resealing in Goathurst Common, done properly
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. 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 are dealing with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Goathurst Common are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Goathurst Common and across Kent.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Goathurst Common
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units

Questions from Goathurst Common
Can you do bathroom resealing in Goathurst Common?
Yes, Goathurst Common is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Sevenoaks station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Common problems we fix in Goathurst Common
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Homes close to Church of St Mary at South End of Village Green include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the job changes by surface
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is for a typical job. Somewhere like Goathurst Common 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.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
