Bathroom resealing in Upper Hardres
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Common call-outs are for gaps where the bath or tray has moved and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, across kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and baths.
For a small place like Upper Hardres, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Upper Hardres
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Bekesbourne station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

What else we do in Upper Hardres
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Upper Hardres, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
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.

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
