Bathroom resealing in Old Tree
Across Old Tree, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
Somewhere as small as Old Tree, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Old Tree, 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 protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any 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, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Old Tree can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that.
What affects the quote in Old Tree
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Bathroom resealing around Old Tree
Old Tree 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, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Cross, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Hoath Primary School are buildings too, and 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.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Old Tree?
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
For landlords with property near Herne Bay station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
