Bathroom resealing in Alkham
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have mouldy sealant that has gone black and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Alkham, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Why deal with it now?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Older cottages and farmhouses around Alkham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a small place like Alkham, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.

What we are called out for in Alkham
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Homes close to Church of St Anthony the Martyr include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Alkham: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Alkham?
Yes. Alkham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kearsney station?
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 any work starts.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Alkham
Alkham is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Kearsney station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
