DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a job in Strood, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Strood
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
If you live in an older home near St Francis' Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How the job changes 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.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Questions from Strood
Do you work in hotels near Strood?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Strood station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Do you work in Strood?
We do. Strood is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.

Why it’s worth doing now in Strood
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: 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. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy home in Strood they get worse with every use. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
