How we handle bathroom resealing in Penshurst
Across Penshurst, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots spreading through the bead and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
For a small place like Penshurst, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Around Penshurst, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Penshurst
Will you come out to Penshurst?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Penshurst?
Yes, Penshurst is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone does not bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
How long will the resealing take?
Allow a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. You’ll know how long to expect before any work starts.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Penshurst 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.
Rented homes near Penshurst station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Penshurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a small place like Penshurst, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
