Our bathroom resealing service in CT6
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, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on baths, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about leaks into the floor or ceiling below and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Bathroom resealing across CT6: local notes
CT6 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Herne Bay, Greenhill and Beltinge 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 are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across CT6 is planned around the weather. CT6 includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Herne Bay: If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Herne Bay Junior School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Landlord and commercial work in CT6
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Landlords and letting agents in CT6 can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Why act early?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
Why it fails
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
Common questions in CT6
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in CT6?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
