What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
About our bathroom resealing in Ickham
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, and we will send you a clear quote before any work starts. Common call-outs are for damp behind the bath or under the tray and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, across baths, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Being in a small place like Ickham makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Ickham and everywhere else we cover.

For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Ickham questions
Is Ickham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Ickham?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
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.
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.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. 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.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Ickham
Ickham has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Bekesbourne station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St John, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Ickham, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
