Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Pegwell, Kent
Baths, showers and worktops in Pegwell need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Pegwell, 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Bathroom resealing in Pegwell
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the bath or tray has moved and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
In a village or hamlet like Pegwell, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Pegwell?
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chilton Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Pegwell
Do you take on hotel work around Pegwell?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Will you come out to Pegwell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
Allow a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pegwell
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pegwell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- We are fully insured
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We never seal over old sealant

Pegwell homes and their sealant
Pegwell is close to 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. Pegwell has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Ramsgate station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around Church of St Laurence, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
