Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Broomfield, Kent
Baths, showers and worktops in Broomfield need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Broomfield
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most often call us about black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
Around Broomfield, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Broomfield, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

Bathroom resealing in Broomfield: local notes
Broomfield is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Bartholomew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Managing a site like Herne Church of England Infant School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Broomfield is about 1 mile south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Across the CT6 area, we can carry out bathroom resealing at your property. We cover 922 towns and villages across Kent, large and small. For nearby work, see our Chelmsford page (39 miles or so).

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broomfield
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Broomfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Common questions in Broomfield
Do you cover Broomfield for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Broomfield is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Broomfield?
Yes, Broomfield is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
How long will the resealing take?
Allow a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Is white the only colour available?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Broomfield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
