Bathrooms and kitchens in Matchams
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Around Matchams, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Matchams, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

About our bathroom resealing in Matchams
A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and we will give you a clear quote before any work starts. If you have shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and splits where the tray meets the wall, we can put it right.
Around Matchams, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a small place like Matchams, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Why it’s worth doing now in Matchams
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, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Matchams can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
