How we handle bathroom resealing in Hammerwood
It is not only bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every 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. Common call-outs are for a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.
Around Hammerwood, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Hammerwood
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Stephen, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Sackville School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Common problems we fix in Hammerwood
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
If you let a flat or house near Dormans station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Why deal with it now?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. In a small place like Hammerwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What you get with us

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a small place like Hammerwood, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, 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, usually after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
