Bathroom & kitchen resealing in East Malling, Kent
Baths, showers and worktops in East Malling need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.

Bathroom resealing in East Malling, done properly
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath panel and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
Homes around East Malling range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Common problems we fix in East Malling
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
If you live in an older home near Church of St James, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What bathroom resealing looks like in East Malling
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. East Malling has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near East Malling station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in East Malling
Will you come out to East Malling?
Yes, East Malling is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near East Malling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around East Malling, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a job in East Malling, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- 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.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
