Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Kingswood? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Kingswood
Homes in Kingswood have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include a reseal done over the top of the old bead and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
In a village or hamlet like Kingswood, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Kingswood
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kingswood Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Kingswood Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Kingswood questions
Do you cover smaller places like Kingswood?
Yes, Kingswood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Harrietsham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as Kingswood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

When to call us in Kingswood
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
If you let a flat or house near Harrietsham station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Why act early in Kingswood
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Kingswood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
