Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Leigh Green
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We’re often asked to deal with water getting behind the bath panel and gaps between the worktop and the wall, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
For a small place like Leigh Green, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a small place like Leigh Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- 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.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

Leave it or put it right?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Leigh Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Leigh Green homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Leigh Green has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Appledore (Kent) station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Leigh Green?
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mildred, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include

- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee

Leigh Green questions
I let a flat near Appledore (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Leigh Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
