How bathroom resealing works in TN32
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across TN32: local notes
Across TN32, from Robertsbridge, Staplecross and Northbridge Street 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 have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in TN32.
Robertsbridge: For an older house near a landmark such as Robertsbridge United Reformed Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Salehurst Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why it fails
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Why act early?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
TN32: your questions answered
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in TN32?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
