Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.

Common problems we fix in Walkern
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Schools such as Walkern Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Bathroom resealing around Walkern
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Stevenage station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Walkern
Will you come out to Walkern?
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.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
Why deal with it now?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. Older cottages and farmhouses around Walkern can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
