About our bathroom resealing in Hersden
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We are often asked to deal with sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and two layers of silicone, both failing, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units.
In and around Hersden, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
How the visit 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 around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a job in Hersden, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
Do you need bathroom resealing in Hersden?
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is

Hersden 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.
Rented homes near Sturry station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Hersden Village Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common questions in Hersden
Is Hersden within the area you cover?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sturry station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Hersden and the rest of Kent.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
