Why act early in Shipbourne
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. In a small place like Shipbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Shipbourne, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Shipbourne: your questions answered
Is Shipbourne within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Shipbourne?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shipbourne is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Bathroom resealing around Shipbourne
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shipbourne School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Giles include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

When to call us in Shipbourne
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
For landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
