Hockley Bathroom Resealing
We cover Hockley for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
When to call us in Hockley
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually will not clean off.
The most common problems we see are:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
If you let a flat or house near Hockley station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Can I do it myself?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Hockley homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Emmanuel Church Hall, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Greensward Academy? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a smaller place like Hockley, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
Common questions in Hockley
I let a flat near Hockley station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Hockley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hockley
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Homes in smaller places like Hockley can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
