How we handle bathroom resealing in Lower Higham
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you have failed sealant on the screen profile and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Higham, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What else we do in Lower Higham
Lower Higham homes and their sealant
Lower Higham is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Higham station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Managing a site like Higham Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Lower Higham is about 3 miles north-west of Rochester, in Medway. We provide bathroom resealing to homes and businesses in Lower Higham and the surrounding area. Lower Higham is one of 68 places in Medway we cover. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, roughly 21 miles from Lower Higham.

Common problems we fix in Lower Higham
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Water getting behind the bath panel
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a small place like Lower Higham, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Lower Higham questions
Is Lower Higham in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lower Higham is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Higham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Higham
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. Around Lower Higham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures

Want a quote for bathroom resealing? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d do and give you a clear price before any work starts.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something doesn’t look right, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
