Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Cheriton, Kent
Our applicators work in Cheriton on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is for a typical job. For a job in Cheriton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access

How we handle bathroom resealing in Cheriton
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We’re often asked to deal with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
Even in a smaller place like Cheriton, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands

Cheriton homes and their sealant
Cheriton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Cheriton has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Souls, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as All Soul's Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

When to call us in Cheriton
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
If you let a flat or house near Folkestone West station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
