Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Smarden
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We are often asked to deal with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and water escaping at the shower enclosure, across sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units.
Being in a small place like Smarden makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Smarden and everywhere else we cover.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Smarden homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Pluckley station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.

When to call us in Smarden
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
Managing a site like Smarden Primary School? Then 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.
Before booking anyone
- Are they insured?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Leave it or put it right?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Smarden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We never seal over old sealant

How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a village or hamlet like Smarden, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
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.
