DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Common problems we fix in Kent Street
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
If you look after a building such as Ark Helenswood Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Kent Street homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Battle station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Questions from Kent Street
I let a flat near Battle station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Kent Street?
Yes, Kent Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Around Kent Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
