Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in The Platt
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are splits where the tray meets the wall and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
In a village or hamlet like The Platt, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a small place like The Platt, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What bathroom resealing looks like in The Platt
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.
Schools such as Frant Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Alban, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Frant station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
The Platt is about 4 miles south of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent.

Why act early in The Platt
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like The Platt, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What affects the quote in The Platt
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
