Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Smarden Bell
Homes in Smarden Bell have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about smears of silicone across the tiles and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Around Smarden Bell, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Smarden Bell and across Kent.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Why deal with it now?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. In a small place like Smarden Bell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Smarden Bell needs a little journey planning: 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.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

What bathroom resealing looks like in Smarden Bell
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Smarden Primary School are buildings too, and 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. Letting a property close to Headcorn station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

FAQs for Smarden Bell
Is Smarden Bell in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Smarden Bell is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
