Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Hempton
Homes in Hempton have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are mouldy sealant that has gone black and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
Being in a small place like Hempton makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Hempton
Will you come out to Hempton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take on hotel work around Hempton?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Hempton?
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Homes close to Saint John the Evangelist include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
How the job changes by surface
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Hempton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
