How we handle bathroom resealing in Leybourne
Homes in Leybourne have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are mouldy sealant that has gone black and water escaping at the shower enclosure.
Homes around Leybourne are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

What affects the quote in Leybourne
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The amount of work
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.
Leybourne homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Leybourne. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Lunsford Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near West Malling station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Questions from Leybourne
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Malling station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work in hotels near Leybourne?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Sinks & splashbacks
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere as small as Leybourne, 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.
- 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
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around Leybourne, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
