- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black spots spreading through the bead
Common problems we fix in Swattenden
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
If you live in an older home near Congregational Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Swattenden
Homes in Swattenden have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include water escaping at the shower enclosure and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
In a village or hamlet like Swattenden, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Questions from Swattenden
Can you do bathroom resealing in Swattenden?
Yes, Swattenden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Swattenden?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Swattenden?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Swattenden needs a little journey planning: 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 start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around Swattenden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Swattenden clients choose us

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Swattenden and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
What affects the quote in Swattenden
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
