Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not stretched when it’s used.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Gushmere
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We are often asked to deal with new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and gaps between the worktop and the wall, across sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Somewhere as small as Gushmere, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

Landlord and commercial work in Gushmere
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Gushmere and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Why deal with it now?
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. Around Gushmere, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

What else we do in Gushmere
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Gushmere 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.
- 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.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Bathroom resealing around Gushmere
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.
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. For landlords with property near Selling station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Gushmere?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
If you look after a building such as Selling Church of England 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.
