About our bathroom resealing in Pett Bottom
Homes in Pett Bottom have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We’re often asked to deal with smears of silicone across the tiles and water escaping at the shower enclosure, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures.
In a village or hamlet like Pett Bottom, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Pett Bottom homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Bekesbourne station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
When to call us in Pett Bottom
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Managing a site like Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Pett Bottom can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line does not stand out.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Pett Bottom, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do you guarantee your resealing?

Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
