About our bathroom resealing in Coombe
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
Being in a small place like Coombe makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Coombe and across Kent.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Coombe
For anyone letting property in or around Coombe, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
When to call us in Coombe
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Schools such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
What we do, step by step
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 a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a small place like Coombe, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Bathrooms and kitchens in Coombe
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Coombe: your questions answered
Is Coombe in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Coombe is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Sandwich station. Can you help?

Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You’re not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Coombe?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
