How we handle bathroom resealing in Hawkwell
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and failed sealant on the screen profile.
Homes around Hawkwell range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hawkwell
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. Homes in smaller places like Hawkwell can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Hawkwell
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Westerings Primary Academy are buildings too, and 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. Letting a property close to Hockley station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

When to call us in Hawkwell
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
Homes close to Emmanuel Parish Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Common questions in Hawkwell
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hockley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hawkwell?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a job in Hawkwell, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
