Bathroom resealing in Hillgrove
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We are often asked to deal with leaking joints on a shower screen and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, on baths, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks.
Somewhere as small as Hillgrove, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. For a village or hamlet like Hillgrove, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Hillgrove
Is Hillgrove within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Smallbrook Junction station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
What happens if it’s left?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. 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’ll hear it from us. Around Hillgrove, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Hillgrove
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Wootton Community Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Smallbrook Junction station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around St. Mark's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
