Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Boxley, Kent
Bathroom resealing in Boxley from a team with over 20 years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
About our bathroom resealing in Boxley
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about failed sealant on the screen profile and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.
Somewhere as small as Boxley, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Boxley
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's and All Saints Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Boxley
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Sandling Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Maidstone East station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
