Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Hawthorn, Kent
Baths, showers and worktops in Hawthorn need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.

About our bathroom resealing in Hawthorn
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
Homes around Hawthorn are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why deal with it now?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hawthorn can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Hawthorn
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, 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.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere as small as Hawthorn, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

When to call us in Hawthorn
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Hawthorn
Do you work for landlords with property near Herne Bay station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hawthorn?
Yes. Hawthorn is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Bathroom resealing around Hawthorn
Hawthorn is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Herne Bay station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you look after a building such as Reculver Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
