DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Bathrooms and kitchens in South Darenth
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Farningham Road station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of Saint Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Horton Kirby Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere as small as South Darenth, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover South Darenth for bathroom resealing?

Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Darenth
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Older cottages and farmhouses around South Darenth can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
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’ll know the price before we begin.
