Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Rough Common, Kent
Baths, showers and worktops in Rough Common need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Bathroom resealing in Rough Common, done properly
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. Common call-outs are for new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and mouldy sealant that has gone black, across shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.
Homes around Rough Common are mostly 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Rough Common and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere like Rough Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Bathroom resealing around Rough Common
Rough Common has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Blean Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Gabriel, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from Rough Common
Do you work in hotels near Rough Common?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Canterbury West station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
