Bathroom Resealing in Bluetown
Baths, showers and worktops in Bluetown need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Bathroom resealing in Bluetown
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you are dealing with new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Bluetown, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Bluetown and everywhere else we cover.

Bathroom resealing around Bluetown
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Sittingbourne station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Why deal with it now?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bluetown, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- More than 20 years in sealant work

- Neat joints and a tidy finish

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a village or hamlet like Bluetown, 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.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in

What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

When to call us in Bluetown
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
In the older streets around Church of St Catherine, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How much experience the applicator has
