How we handle bathroom resealing in Hermitage
A bead that has gone black, split or come away is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. Typical jobs include failed sealant on the screen profile and damp behind the bath or under the tray, on baths, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.
In a village or hamlet like Hermitage, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers from start to finish. Somewhere like Hermitage needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Hermitage homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Newbury Racecourse station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Hermitage
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Managing a site like Hermitage Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hermitage
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In a small place like Hermitage, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Common questions in Hermitage
I let a flat near Newbury Racecourse station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Hermitage within the area you cover?
Yes. Hermitage is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is white the only colour available?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Landlords and agents in Hermitage can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
