Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Grove
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you have splits where the tray meets the wall and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, we can help, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.
Being in a small place like Grove makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Grove and across Kent.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere like Grove needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

Surface by surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
What affects the quote in Grove
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Grove homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Preston Primary School are buildings too, and 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 Mildred, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What else we do in Grove
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we are called out for in Grove
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The most common problems we see are:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Rented homes near Sturry station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
Common questions in Grove
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sturry station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Grove for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Grove is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
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. All the old sealant comes out first.
What happens if it’s left?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. In a small place like Grove, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
