Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Greenstead
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Around Greenstead, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Bathroom resealing around Greenstead
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Greenstead. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Hythe station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Schools such as Unity Primary Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Parking around Greenstead is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Homes in smaller places like Greenstead can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

FAQs for Greenstead
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hythe station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Greenstead?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
