Bathroom resealing in Hollingbourne, done properly
Across Hollingbourne, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are mouldy sealant that has gone black and water escaping at the shower enclosure.
In a village or hamlet like Hollingbourne, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually won’t remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
What the job involves on each surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line does not stand out.

FAQs for Hollingbourne
Can you do bathroom resealing in Hollingbourne?
Yes, Hollingbourne is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hollingbourne?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we are fully insured.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Hollingbourne?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
In the older streets around All Saints Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Hollingbourne, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Why act early in Hollingbourne
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last. Around Hollingbourne, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
