FAQs for Stede Quarter
Do you work for landlords with property near Headcorn station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Stede Quarter within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we are fully insured.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Stede Quarter
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We are often asked to deal with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, across basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Around Stede Quarter, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Stede Quarter and across Kent.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a small place like Stede Quarter, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work in Stede Quarter
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Stede Quarter

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
