How we handle bathroom resealing in Herne
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Typical jobs include a joint torn by a bath that flexes and two layers of silicone, both failing, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
In and around Herne, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a smaller place like Herne, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What we are called out for in Herne
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot 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:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Managing a site like Herne Church of England Infant School? Then 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 else we do in Herne
Bathroom resealing in Herne: local notes
Herne is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Homes close to Church of St Martin include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Herne Bay station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Why it’s worth doing now in Herne
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite. Homes in smaller places like Herne can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Herne customers choose us
- Full insurance on every job

See what affects the cost and what customers say.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
