About our bathroom resealing in Chilham
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 neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. If you have cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Chilham, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. A dry joint lasts longer.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Chilham and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.

Leave it or put it right?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chilham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Chilham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
What bathroom resealing looks like in Chilham
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Chilham
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
If you let a flat or house near Chilham station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
