Bathroom resealing in Platt, done properly
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are a reseal done over the top of the old bead and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
Being in a small place like Platt makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Platt
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Platt. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Borough Green & Wrotham station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Schools such as Platt Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Platt, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Platt?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Platt?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

How the job changes by surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
