Hinxhill Bathroom Resealing
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homes and businesses in Hinxhill and across Kent. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually 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 Hinxhill, 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.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

About our bathroom resealing in Hinxhill
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you have gaps where the bath or tray has moved and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Hinxhill are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY versus a professional finish
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, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.

Questions from Hinxhill
Is Hinxhill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Hinxhill
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Brook Community Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What affects the quote in Hinxhill
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Hinxhill
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Water getting behind the bath panel
If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
