Our bathroom resealing service in TN17
Across TN17, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are mouldy sealant that has gone black and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.

Local landmarks in Cranbrook
We work in homes and buildings around The Crown Public House, Crane Valley and Cranbrook School. Nearby too are Congregational Church (within half a mile north) and Cranbrook Church of England Primary School (under half a mile north). Other landmarks nearby include Sissinghurst Castle (2.5 miles north-east) and Benenden Hospital (3.6 miles east).
Where we work in TN17
Across TN17, from Cranbrook, Goudhurst and Benenden outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in TN17, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.
Cranbrook: If you live in an older home near Congregational Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Cranbrook School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold
- What guarantee comes with the work
Common problems we fix in TN17
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
How the job changes by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Failed grout lines across the wall
Questions from TN17
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
