Bathroom Resealing in Stubb's Cross
Baths, showers and worktops in Stubb's Cross need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Bathroom resealing in Stubb's Cross, done properly
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. If you have black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Stubb's Cross makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stubb's Cross as everywhere else we work.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Stubb's Cross, access is normally 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What we are called out for in Stubb's Cross
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
The most common problems we see are:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Stubb's Cross
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Kingsnorth Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Homes close to St Francis include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stubb's Cross
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Around Stubb's Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We are fully insured
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
