Flete homes and their sealant
Flete is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Margate station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Managing a site like St Gregory's Catholic Primary School? Then 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.

How we handle bathroom resealing in Flete
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote for bathroom resealing in Flete. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about gaps where the bath or tray has moved and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Around Flete, 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: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
For anyone letting property in or around Flete, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. 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, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Flete, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Questions from Flete
Can you do bathroom resealing in Flete?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Flete is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Flete?
Yes. Flete is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Flete?
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath panel
In the older streets around St. Catherine's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What preparation is included
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Flete, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
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. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
