About our bathroom resealing in Boughton Lees
Homes in Boughton Lees have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Common call-outs are for leaking joints on a shower screen and black spots spreading through the bead, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
In a village or hamlet like Boughton Lees, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. A dry joint lasts longer.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Boughton Lees
Will you come out to Boughton Lees?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Boughton Lees?
Yes, Boughton Lees is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Boughton Lees, 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.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal

Boughton Lees homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Towers School and Sixth Form Centre? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around Saint Christopher's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Common problems we fix in Boughton Lees
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Rented homes near Wye 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.
