Boughton Malherbe Bathroom Resealing
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Boughton Malherbe? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Boughton Malherbe, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we handle bathroom resealing in Boughton Malherbe
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We’re often asked to deal with water getting behind the kitchen upstand and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Being in a small place like Boughton Malherbe makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we are called out for in Boughton Malherbe
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Boughton Malherbe homes and their sealant
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.
Schools such as Platts Heath Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Lenham station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why deal with it now?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. In a small place like Boughton Malherbe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Take a look at how sealant jobs are priced and our reviews.
What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
What affects the quote in Boughton Malherbe

- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

Do you cover smaller places like Boughton Malherbe?

What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
