Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Knave's Ash
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We’re often asked to deal with new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and black spots spreading through the bead, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths.
Around Knave's Ash, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Knave's Ash, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Knave's Ash
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Knave's Ash: your questions answered
Can you do bathroom resealing in Knave's Ash?
Yes, Knave's Ash is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Knave's Ash?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.

Bathroom resealing in Knave's Ash: local notes
Knave's Ash is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Cross, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hoath Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
