How we handle bathroom resealing in Thong
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Somewhere as small as Thong, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower in most cases. Somewhere as small as Thong, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What else we do in Thong
Bathroom resealing around Thong
Thong is close to 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. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Sole Street station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Managing a site like Riverview Infant School? Then 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. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Thong is about 2 miles south-east of Gravesend, in Kent. Our applicators cover bathroom resealing for householders, landlords and businesses in Thong. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Thong among them. There’s also a page for London, about 22 miles away.

For rail, the closest station is Sole Street station, about 2.2 miles south-west of the centre.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. In a small place like Thong, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
