In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Bathroom resealing in Broom Street

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 into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for leaks into the floor or ceiling below and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.

For a small place like Broom Street, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Broom Street homes and their sealant

Broom Street is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.

In the older streets around Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Faversham 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.

How the job changes by surface

Wet rooms

Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.

Can I do it myself?

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. Everything old must be removed first.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Move toiletries away from the joint
  • Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
  • Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
  • Squeegee the walls and tray after use

In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

What we’re called out for in Broom Street

Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
  • Black spots spreading through the bead
  • A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
  • Failed sealant on the screen profile

Managing a site like Graveney Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Will it make a mess?

Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?

Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

What do you put in the joint?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.

How we quote for bathroom resealing

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • The number of rooms or windows
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • The type of sealant required
  • When we can work, for business premises

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Helping us quote

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • Where the property is

Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

How it works

There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Broom Street needs a little journey planning: 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.

  1. We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
  2. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  3. The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
  4. New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
  5. Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
