Bathroom resealing in Canewdon, done properly
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. 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. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We are often asked to deal with a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Being in a small place like Canewdon makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will 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. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Older cottages and farmhouses around Canewdon can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Bathroom resealing in Canewdon: local notes
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.
Managing a site like King Edmund School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Althorne station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
