About our bathroom resealing in Herne Common
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We are often asked to deal with smears of silicone across the tiles and splits where the tray meets the wall, across basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Somewhere as small as Herne Common, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Herne Common
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
If you look after a building such as Herne Church of England Infant 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.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a village or hamlet like Herne Common, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Herne Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Common questions in Herne Common
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Herne Bay station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Herne Common in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Herne Common is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Herne Common homes and their sealant
Herne Common is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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 St Martin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
