Bathroom resealing in Otham, done properly
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
In a smaller place like Otham, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Bathroom resealing around Otham
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Nicholas's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Senacre Technology College? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
What affects the quote in Otham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Otham?
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Letting a property close to Bearsted station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower for a typical job. A visit to Otham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
