Bathroom Resealing in Charlton-in-Dover
Our applicators work in Charlton-in-Dover on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Charlton-in-Dover questions
Do you take on hotel work around Charlton-in-Dover?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Will you come out to Charlton-in-Dover?
Yes. Charlton-in-Dover is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Charlton-in-Dover?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Parking around Charlton-in-Dover is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Charlton-in-Dover
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Why deal with it now?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. In a smaller place like Charlton-in-Dover, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Old sealant always removed completely

Common problems we fix in Charlton-in-Dover
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Charlton Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Bathroom resealing in Charlton-in-Dover: local notes
Charlton-in-Dover is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Dover Priory station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
