Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Hassell Street, Kent
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Hassell Street? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Bathroom resealing in Hassell Street, done properly
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and two layers of silicone, both failing.
Homes around Hassell Street are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Common problems we fix in Hassell Street
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Schools such as Wye School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured?
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the colour is chosen
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Bathroom resealing in Hassell Street: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Leave it or put it right?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Around Hassell Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Hassell Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Hassell Street
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
