- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included in most cases. In a smaller place like Swanley, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we are called out for in Swanley
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
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.
Swanley homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like St Bartholomew's Catholic Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Swanley station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
