DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What we do, step by step
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 village or hamlet like Cooling, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

What we are called out for in Cooling
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
In the older streets around St James' Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
Towns and villages near Cooling
What else we do in Cooling
Cooling homes and their sealant
Cooling is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Higham station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Cooling is about 5 miles north of Rochester, in Medway. Cooling gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. 68 places in Medway are on our list, from the larger towns to small villages. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, about 20 miles away.

Near you in Cooling

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Move toiletries away from the joint
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
