Bathroom Resealing in Wigmore
Baths, showers and worktops in Wigmore need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Bathroom resealing in Wigmore, done properly
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. 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 a reseal done over the top of the old bead, across kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Around Wigmore, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
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.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Wigmore
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Two layers of silicone, both failing

What else we do in Wigmore
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking around Wigmore is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. In an older home around Wigmore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
Bathroom resealing around Wigmore
Wigmore is within about 3 miles of 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, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to St Paul's Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Park Wood Infant School are buildings too, and 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.
Wigmore is about 1 mile south-east of Gillingham, in Medway. From the centre of Wigmore to the outskirts, bathroom resealing is available for homes and businesses alike. 68 places in Medway are on our list. Chelmsford is on our list too, about 27 miles from Wigmore.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
