About our bathroom resealing in Garlinge Green
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. If you’re dealing with a reseal done over the top of the old bead and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, we can help, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.
Homes around Garlinge Green are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Garlinge Green
Do you work for landlords with property near Chartham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Garlinge Green?
Yes. Garlinge Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Garlinge Green and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Garlinge Green
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Chartham station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Why act early in Garlinge Green
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Garlinge Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How the job changes by surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
When to call us in Garlinge Green
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Around Garlinge Green, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
- What guarantee comes with the work
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a village or hamlet like Garlinge Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
