Bathroom resealing in ME5: how it works
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and people most often call us about a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- 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.
What you’ll pay
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Where we work in ME5
ME5 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Gillingham, Chatham and Luton there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across ME5 is planned around the weather. In the coastal parts of ME5, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, and that is where sealant usually gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Chatham: Homes close to Christ the King include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wayfield Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
For anyone letting property in or around ME5, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
What we’re called out for in ME5
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
Why deal with it now?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later.
