About bathroom resealing in TN3
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Bathrooms and kitchens across TN3
Across TN3, from Rusthall, Langton Green and Lamberhurst outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across TN3 is planned around the weather.
Langton Green: Rented homes near Tunbridge Wells station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Managing a site like Langton Green Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually won’t clean off.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
TN3: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
