Hamstead: your questions answered
I let a flat near Lymington Pier station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Hamstead?
Yes. Hamstead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What colours of sealant can you use?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
Leave it or put it right?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Around Hamstead, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Bathroom resealing around Hamstead
Hamstead is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In and around Hamstead, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a village or hamlet like Hamstead, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What we are called out for in Hamstead
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally will not clean off.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
If you let a flat or house near Lymington Pier station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Before booking anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if the job turns out different
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
