How we handle bathroom resealing in Matfield
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. If you have mouldy sealant that has gone black and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can help, on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands alike.
Around Matfield, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Matfield as everywhere else we work.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Matfield
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere as small as Matfield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Matfield questions
Will you come out to Matfield?
Yes, Matfield is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Paddock Wood station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Common problems we fix in Matfield
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
For an older house near a landmark such as Ebenezer Church (Matfield), timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Matfield homes and their sealant
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 landlords with property near Paddock Wood station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Managing a site like Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why deal with it now?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Matfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
