FAQs for Upper Ruxley
Could a tired shower seal in my Upper Ruxley flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
I let a flat near Swanley station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. You’ll know how long to expect before work begins.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
About our bathroom resealing in Upper Ruxley
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a photo of the joints, and we’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are splits where the tray meets the wall and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a job in Upper Ruxley, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- 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.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Upper Ruxley.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Upper Ruxley
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Homes close to St Botolph's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
- How much experience the applicator has
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

Bathroom resealing around Upper Ruxley
London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
For landlords with property near Swanley station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Upper Ruxley is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
