How we handle bathroom resealing in Great Hormead
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us, and we’ll give you a clear quote for bathroom resealing in Great Hormead. Typical jobs include sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks.
Somewhere as small as Great Hormead, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Great Hormead, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Great Hormead
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Great Hormead?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Great Hormead in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Great Hormead is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we are fully insured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Great Hormead
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hormead Church of England (VA) First School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Failed grout lines across the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
