Bathrooms and kitchens in Hanscombe End
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Shillington Lower School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Can you do bathroom resealing in Hanscombe End?
Yes, Hanscombe End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as Hanscombe End, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hanscombe End
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hanscombe End can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
