How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a small place like Hollow Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.

Bathroom resealing in Hollow Street, done properly
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. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We are often asked to deal with a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Hollow Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Hollow Street and everywhere else we cover.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Do not stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.

When to call us in Hollow Street
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
If you let a flat or house near Sturry station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Hollow Street: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hollow Street?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Sturry station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units

- Shower trays & enclosures
Why it’s worth doing now in Hollow Street
Sorting it now is quick: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hollow Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- We’re fully insured
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts

Bathroom resealing in Hollow Street: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chislet Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
