Bathroom Resealing in Medway

Bathroom resealing across Medway: what to expect

With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Medway. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job carries our one-year guarantee. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and failed sealant on the screen profile.

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included.

1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
3. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
5. The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

What affects the quote in Medway

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

• When we can work, for business premises
• Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
• The number and length of the joints
• Which sealant suits the joint

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

• Any access issues, like height or stairs
• The address or postcode of the job
• Photos by email, if that’s easy
• Whether it has been sealed before

Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.

Keeping the joints in good condition

How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

• Do not let bottles sit on the bead
• Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
• Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
• Run the extractor fan during and after every shower

Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.

A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
