How we handle bathroom resealing in West Hougham
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. Typical jobs include two layers of silicone, both failing and gaps between the worktop and the wall, on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Being in a small place like West Hougham makes no difference to the job itself: 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 something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
West Hougham: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kearsney station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is West Hougham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover West Hougham and the rest of Kent.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Bathroom resealing around West Hougham
West Hougham is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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 let a flat or house near Kearsney station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What we’re called out for in West Hougham
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Schools such as Capel-le-Ferne Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: 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 the area is left clean. In a small place like West Hougham, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
