Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and is not torn the first time it’s used.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is generally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Kemsing
Do you cover Kemsing for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Kemsing is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Kemsing?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Homes in smaller places like Kemsing can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Kemsing?
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Look out for these signs:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
For landlords with property near Otford station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a job in Kemsing, 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, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Bathroom resealing around Kemsing
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Kemsing Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
