DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Lyminge
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Somewhere as small as Lyminge, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lyminge as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a village or hamlet like Lyminge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Lyminge
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Letting a property close to Sandling station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Lyminge
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 Lyminge Church of England Primary School, 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.

FAQs for Lyminge
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Lyminge?
Yes, Lyminge is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
