Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Luddesdown questions
Will you come out to Luddesdown?
Yes, Luddesdown is covered. We work across 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 cover Luddesdown for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Luddesdown 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.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long will the resealing take?
Allow two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. You’ll know how long to expect before we start.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line does not stand out.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Luddesdown, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
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.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Luddesdown
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Luddesdown homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Meopham School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Letting a property close to Sole Street station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
