About our bathroom resealing in Bossingham
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Around Bossingham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
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.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a village or hamlet like Bossingham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit

Bathrooms and kitchens in Bossingham
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Chartham station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
