Why act early in Lower Upnor
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. In a small place like Lower Upnor, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Bathroom resealing around Lower Upnor
Lower Upnor is within about 2 miles 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Strood station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Chattenden 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Lower Upnor, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What we’re called out for in Lower Upnor
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Look out for these signs:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water getting behind the bath panel
For an older house near a landmark such as St Philip & St James, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
