Bathroom resealing near Well Street

Well Street homes and their sealant

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Well Street. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.

If you look after a building such as The Malling School, 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. For landlords with property near East Malling station, 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 James, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

About our bathroom resealing in Well Street

Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the kitchen upstand and two layers of silicone, both failing, on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Homes around Well Street are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Well Street and across Kent.

Common questions in Well Street

Do you work in hotels near Well Street?

Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.

Will you come out to Well Street?

Yes. Well Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do the sealants smell?

That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

When can I use the bath or shower again?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

What colours of sealant can you use?

You are not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Landlords and letting agents in Well Street can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Why it’s worth doing now in Well Street

Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows. In a small place like Well Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

When something else is needed

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
  • A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we seal

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How it works

All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Well Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
  4. Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
  5. The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

How to prepare

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area

What affects the quote in Well Street

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • Access and height
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Any working-time requirements on site

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Asking for a quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • A few photos by email, if you can

Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and pictures are welcome.

How the job changes by surface

Basins & vanity units

Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.

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.
