About bathroom resealing in ME15
Across ME15, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and splits where the tray meets the wall.
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included in most cases.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
What you will pay
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Bathroom resealing across ME15: local notes
ME15 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Maidstone, Foley Park and Bearsted. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in ME15, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.
Maidstone: In the older streets around St Philip's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as South Borough Primary School, 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.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Common problems we fix in ME15
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to 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.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in ME15
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is white the only colour available?
You’re not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We can help you pick when we quote.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in ME15?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Do you work in ME15?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
