Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Elham, Kent
Our applicators work in Elham on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
What we’re called out for in Elham
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- How the colour is chosen
- What the cure time is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Elham
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most often call us about water getting behind the kitchen upstand and failed sealant on the screen profile.
In a village or hamlet like Elham, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Elham
I let a flat near Sandling station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Elham for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Elham is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.

Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Elham
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Elham Church of England Primary School, 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. For landlords with property near Sandling station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Elham, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
