Bathroom resealing in Lenham Forstal
Across Lenham Forstal, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are water escaping at the shower enclosure and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
Somewhere as small as Lenham Forstal, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

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 around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as Lenham Forstal, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What else we do in Lenham Forstal
What the job involves on each surface
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 isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Why act early in Lenham Forstal
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In a small place like Lenham Forstal, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Lenham Forstal
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Smears of silicone across the tiles

FAQs for Lenham Forstal
Is Lenham Forstal within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lenham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
