Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Rabbit's Cross and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Rabbit's Cross
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you are dealing with shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, we can put it right, on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands alike.
In a village or hamlet like Rabbit's Cross, 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.

Common problems we fix in Rabbit's Cross
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
Rented homes near Staplehurst station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Rabbit's Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Rabbit's Cross
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rabbit's Cross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
