Kilndown Bathroom Resealing
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Kilndown? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
About our bathroom resealing in Kilndown
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. If you have a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can put it right, on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and basins & vanity units alike.
Somewhere as small as Kilndown, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Kilndown
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Kilndown?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Kilndown in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Kilndown is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Kilndown
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Around Kilndown, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kilndown
Sorting it now is quick: it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Around Kilndown, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a small place like Kilndown, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
