Bathroom resealing in Lower Hardres, done properly
Across Lower Hardres, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. Common call-outs are for shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and mouldy sealant that has gone black, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
For a small place like Lower Hardres, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why act early in Lower Hardres
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Hardres, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

How the visit works
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 normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere like Lower Hardres needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.

FAQs for Lower Hardres
Is Lower Hardres in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lower Hardres is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Canterbury East station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Lower Hardres homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Canterbury East station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
