Bathroom resealing in Coldharbour, done properly
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, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you’re dealing with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Coldharbour are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Coldharbour and across Kent.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Coldharbour can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Coldharbour questions
Do you cover smaller places like Coldharbour?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Coldharbour for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Coldharbour is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Coldharbour?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures

- Basins & vanity units
How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen from start to finish. In a small place like Coldharbour, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
What we’re called out for in Coldharbour
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water getting behind the bath panel
In the older streets around Parish Church of St John, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
For landlords and businesses
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.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
