Hartley homes and their sealant
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.
Managing a site like High Weald Academy? Then 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.

Common problems we fix in Hartley
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Around Hartley, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Hartley questions
Do you cover smaller places like Hartley?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Hartley?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Landlord and commercial work in Hartley
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a village or hamlet like Hartley, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
