Sandwich Bathroom Resealing
We cover Sandwich for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
Why act early in Sandwich
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Homes in smaller places like Sandwich can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Bathroom resealing in Sandwich, done properly
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. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for smears of silicone across the tiles and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks.
In and around Sandwich, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Sandwich homes and their sealant
Sandwich is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Sandwich United Reformed Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Sandwich Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Common problems we fix in Sandwich
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the amount of work. A visit to Sandwich is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
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.
