Bathrooms and kitchens in Ottinge
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lyminge Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Sandling station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Bathroom resealing in Ottinge
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback 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 smears of silicone across the tiles and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.
Being in a small place like Ottinge makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Ottinge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit

Why act early in Ottinge
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ottinge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A sound joint along the back edge stops that.
