How we handle bathroom resealing in Tickham
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are smears of silicone across the tiles and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
Being in a small place like Tickham makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included for a typical job. In a small place like Tickham, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- 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 indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Do not stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.

Questions from Tickham
I let a flat near Teynham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.

How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Tickham?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Common problems we fix in Tickham
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
If you look after a building such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Bathroom resealing around Tickham
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Teynham station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tickham
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tickham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
