Appledore Bathroom Resealing
Our applicators work in Appledore on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Appledore
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. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about smears of silicone across the tiles and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Somewhere as small as Appledore, 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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Appledore and across Kent.

Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Bathroom resealing in Appledore: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Appledore questions
I let a flat near Appledore (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Appledore?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
There’s a choice: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What do you need from me for a quote?

Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Appledore?
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The most common problems we see are:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul 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 product goes in the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Appledore, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
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. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
