Bathroom Resealing in Sandway
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Sandway, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
Bathroom resealing in Sandway
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. If you are dealing with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Sandway, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Sandway as everywhere else we work.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Sandway homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Sandway. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Lenham station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Platts Heath Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a village or hamlet like Sandway, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally won’t remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- A few pictures by email, if you can

Common questions in Sandway
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Sandway?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will you come out to Sandway?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
