How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
About our bathroom resealing in Swanley Village
Homes in Swanley Village have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We are often asked to deal with damp behind the bath or under the tray and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
For a small place like Swanley Village, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom in most cases. Somewhere as small as Swanley Village, 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.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Move toiletries away from the joint
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.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
When to call us in Swanley Village
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually won’t clean off.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
If you let a flat or house near Swanley station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Landlord and commercial work in Swanley Village
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents and landlords in Swanley Village can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Swanley Village
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Downsview Community Primary School, 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Swanley Village
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Swanley Village can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.

Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will you leave a mess?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
