- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathroom resealing in Ham
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. Typical jobs include splits where the tray meets the wall and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, across sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms.
Somewhere as small as Ham, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Ham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints

What else we do in Ham
What we’re called out for in Ham
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Look out for these signs:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Letting a property close to Sandwich station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
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.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
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.

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Bathroom resealing in Ham: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up 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 George, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Worth 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.

Why act early in Ham
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
