Bathroom Resealing in Hell Corner
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Hell Corner, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
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.

What else we do in Hell Corner
Common problems we fix in Hell Corner
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally won’t clean off.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Managing a site like Inkpen Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. A dry joint lasts longer.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

Questions from Hell Corner
Is Hell Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kintbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Hell Corner?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Why deal with it now?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In a small place like Hell Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hell Corner
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.
Homes close to Church of St Laurence include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Kintbury station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
