How we handle bathroom resealing in Tilmanstone
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and people most often call us about a reseal done over the top of the old bead and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
For a small place like Tilmanstone, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Tilmanstone
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shepherds Well station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Tilmanstone within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a village or hamlet like Tilmanstone, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Tilmanstone
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Tilmanstone
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
For landlords with property near Shepherds Well station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What preparation is included
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The size of the job
