How bathroom resealing works in CT50
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. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the bath or tray has moved and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, depending on how much there is to do.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across CT50: local notes
CT50 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Cheriton and Sandgate there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials. In the coastal parts of CT50, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Cheriton: Managing a site like All Soul's Church of England Primary School? Then 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. In the older streets around Church of All Souls, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in CT50
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
What we are called out for in CT50
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Failed sealant on the screen profile

For anyone letting property in or around CT50, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Common questions in CT50
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in CT50?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
