What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
About our bathroom resealing in Hextable
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are a reseal done over the top of the old bead and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
In a smaller place like Hextable, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Hextable questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Swanley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Hextable?
Yes. Hextable is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Bathroom resealing around Hextable
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Hextable Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What we’re called out for in Hextable
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand

Why it’s worth doing now in Hextable
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around Hextable, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Parking around Hextable is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
