About our bathroom resealing in Hogpits Bottom
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you have a joint torn by a bath that flexes and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Hogpits Bottom, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Hogpits Bottom
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Hogpits Bottom
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene (Church of England), timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.

What we’re called out for in Hogpits Bottom
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually won’t clean off.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
If you let a flat or house near Chalfont & Latimer station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
Why act early in Hogpits Bottom
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hogpits Bottom, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Why book with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Over 20 years’ experience
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- We never seal over old sealant

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out 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.
Hogpits Bottom: your questions answered
I let a flat near Chalfont & Latimer station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hogpits Bottom?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Is white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
