About our bathroom resealing in Painters Ash
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are mouldy sealant that has gone black and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Homes around Painters Ash range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Painters Ash and across Kent.

Why act early in Painters Ash
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. In a smaller place like Painters Ash, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen from start to finish. In a smaller place like Painters Ash, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Painters Ash
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- The length of the guarantee

- The old material and how stubborn it is
