About our bathroom resealing in Herne Bay
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. 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, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Homes around Herne Bay have been extended and refitted over the decades. Sealant run over the top of an old bead is a common cause of leaks and mould, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed grout lines across the wall

Common problems we fix in Herne Bay
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
If you look after a building such as Herne Bay Junior 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
Why it’s worth doing now in Herne Bay
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. In a family home in Herne Bay, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you can’t see, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally won’t remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Herne Bay
Do you work for landlords with property near Herne Bay station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Herne Bay in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Herne Bay 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 give you a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and the area is left clean. For a job in Herne Bay, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
