About our bathroom resealing in Richborough Port
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
Around Richborough Port, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
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 cannot sit on it.

Common problems we fix in Richborough Port
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Letting a property close to Thanet Parkway station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Richborough Port, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Richborough Port
Richborough Port is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Sir Roger Manwood's School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Richborough Port
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. 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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Richborough Port can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Do the sealants smell?
