About bathroom resealing in ME14

We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  2. Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

What you will pay

Bathrooms and kitchens across ME14

Across ME14, from Maidstone, Foley Park and Bearsted outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in ME14, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.

Foley Park: Homes close to Church of St Luke include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Maidstone East station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

How the job changes by surface

Basins & vanity units

Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.

Baths

Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.

Leave it or put it right?

Sorting it now is quick: it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too.

When it isn’t the sealant

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
  • A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)

Can I do it myself?

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Signs you need bathroom resealing

Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Smears of silicone across the tiles
  • A joint torn by a bath that flexes
  • Mouldy sealant that has gone black
  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone

Your questions about bathroom resealing in ME14

Is it messy?

Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?

Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.

What should I tell you?

Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.

Should I try DIY first?

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.

What colours of sealant can you use?

Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
