How we quote for bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Cross-at-Hand
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a photo of the joints, and we’ll give you a clear quote for bathroom resealing in Cross-at-Hand. If you are dealing with gaps between the worktop and the wall and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, we can help.
Around Cross-at-Hand, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere as small as Cross-at-Hand, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Why act early in Cross-at-Hand
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cross-at-Hand, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Questions from Cross-at-Hand
Is Cross-at-Hand within the area you cover?
Yes, Cross-at-Hand is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Staplehurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Cross-at-Hand
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Around Cross-at-Hand, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
