Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Saltwood
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms.
Homes around Saltwood are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Saltwood
Saltwood is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, 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 Saltwood CofE Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Sandling 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
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included for a typical job. In a small place like Saltwood, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Why act early in Saltwood
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Around Saltwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

When to call us in Saltwood
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
