Bathroom resealing in Maidstone
It isn’t only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. Typical jobs include water getting behind the kitchen upstand and splits where the tray meets the wall, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands.
A place the size of Maidstone has homes of every age, from period houses to modern flats and estates. Bathrooms and kitchens in all of them need their sealant and grout renewing sooner or later.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.
Why act early in Maidstone
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a large rental market like Maidstone, tired sealant leads to tenant complaints about mould, damp and leaks. Sorting it between tenancies is easier than dealing with it mid-let.

Bathroom resealing in Maidstone: local notes
Maidstone 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. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as South Borough Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Maidstone West station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we are called out for in Maidstone
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally won’t clean off.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Homes close to St Philip's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
