Bathroom resealing in West Kingsdown, done properly
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We are often asked to deal with black spots spreading through the bead and water escaping at the shower enclosure, across baths, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.
Even in a smaller place like West Kingsdown, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows. In a smaller place like West Kingsdown, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Parking around West Kingsdown is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Bathroom resealing around West Kingsdown
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Eynsford station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Edmund, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
West Kingsdown is about 6 miles north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent.

Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we’re called out for in West Kingsdown
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
If you look after a building such as West Kingsdown CofE VC Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
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.
