- Water escaping at the shower enclosure

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Failed grout lines across the wall

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Bapchild
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you’re dealing with gaps between the worktop and the wall and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks alike.
Homes around Bapchild are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Bapchild can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Questions from Bapchild
Is Bapchild within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across 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 Teynham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
Surface by surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere like Bapchild needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Bathroom resealing in Bapchild: 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Rodmersham School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Teynham station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
