How we handle bathroom resealing in Hobbs Cross
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.
Around Hobbs Cross, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Common problems we fix in Hobbs Cross
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Schools such as St John's Church of England Voluntary Controlled School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hobbs Cross
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Hobbs Cross, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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 are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

Leave it or put it right?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Around Hobbs Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
