Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Bathroom resealing in Gravesend, done properly
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you have gaps where the bath or tray has moved and failed sealant on the screen profile, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Gravesend makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Gravesend
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Albury Church of England Voluntary Aided 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. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Gravesend is about 4 miles north-west of Bishop's Stortford, in Hertfordshire. Gravesend gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Our Hertfordshire coverage runs to 381 places, and Gravesend is one of them. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, about 21 miles away.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Do you need bathroom resealing in Gravesend?
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
If you let a flat or house near Bishops Stortford station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed 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.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gravesend can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Gravesend: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Gravesend?

What does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
