Bathroom resealing in ME9: how it works
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and people most often call us about gaps between the worktop and the wall and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on the amount of work.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, 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.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
How we quote
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Local landmarks in Iwade
In Iwade, that means homes and buildings near Milton Creek Country Park, Iwade School and Church of All Saints, among other places. You’ll also find The Woolpack pub (under half a mile north) and Westlands School (2.4 miles south). Iwade’s nearest station is Kemsley station, roughly 1 mile south of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Castle Rough (1.5 miles south-east) and Court Hall Museum (1.8 miles south).
Where we work in ME9
Homes across ME9 range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Sittingbourne, Rainham and Murston there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and 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 ME9 is planned around the weather. Parts of ME9 are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Iwade: In the older streets around Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Kemsley station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
FAQs for ME9
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
