Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Hythe
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black spots spreading through the bead and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
Most bathrooms in a town like Hythe are in family homes, used every day, which is hard on sealant and grout. The usual signs are mould in the bead, gaps by the sink and grout that is cracked or stained.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

FAQs for Hythe
I let a flat near Sandling station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Hythe in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Hythe 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, and we will give you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Hythe, along with the rest of our area.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You are not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included for a typical job. For a job in Hythe, 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.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Common problems we fix in Hythe
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally won’t clean off.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hythe Bay CofE Primary 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 bathroom resealing looks like in Hythe
Hythe is within about 1 mile of 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, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Sandling station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In the older streets around Church of St Michael and All Angels, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
