Common problems we fix in Hamstreet
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
If you look after a building such as Hamstreet Primary Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

About our bathroom resealing in Hamstreet
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about a joint torn by a bath that flexes and smears of silicone across the tiles.
Being in a small place like Hamstreet makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Hamstreet and across Kent.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Hamstreet, 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.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Hamstreet 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Good Shepherd, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Ham Street station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Hamstreet is about 5 miles south of Ashford, in Kent. Jobs in Hamstreet get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Hamstreet is one of 922 places in Kent where we work. There’s also a page for Crawley, about 45 miles away.
Work in TN26 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Streets in the area include The Street, Dukes Meadow and Rectory Walk, all of which we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line does not stand out.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hamstreet
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
