Our bathroom resealing service in ME16
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, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about gaps where the bath or tray has moved and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Around Allington
Around Allington, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Maplesden Noakes School, St. Nicholas' Church and St. Simon Stock Catholic School, among other places. You’ll also find Allington Primary School (less than half a mile north-west), Malta Inn (0.8 miles north-east) and Whatman Park (0.8 miles south-east). The closest station to Allington is Barming station, about 0.8 miles west. A little further out are Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment Museum (1.3 miles south-east) and Fremlin Walk (1.3 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Burham Down and Boxley Hills.
Where we work in ME16
ME16 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Maidstone, Foley Park and Allington there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in ME16, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Allington: For an older house near a landmark such as St. Nicholas' Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Barming station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
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. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Surface 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.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Landlords, agents and businesses in ME16
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
What affects the quote in ME16
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
