Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Hare Street, Essex
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Hare Street. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Bathroom resealing in Hare Street
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback 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. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are splits where the tray meets the wall and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
For a small place like Hare Street, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Hare Street questions
Can you do bathroom resealing in Hare Street?
Yes, Hare Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Hare Street?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
How long will the resealing take?
Allow a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Hare Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- 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.
- 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 are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

When to call us in Hare Street
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret of Antioch, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
Why it’s worth doing now in Hare Street
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hare Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
