About our bathroom resealing in Smeeth
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. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are two layers of silicone, both failing and smears of silicone across the tiles.
For a small place like Smeeth, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers in most cases. In a small place like Smeeth, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

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
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Smeeth
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Managing a site like Smeeth Community Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
