How we quote for bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Hook
Across Hook, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Typical jobs include cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and splits where the tray meets the wall, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths.
In a village or hamlet like Hook, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Hook: your questions answered
Is Hook within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Hook for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Hook is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Why deal with it now?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. In a small place like Hook, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hook
Hook is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Locks Heath Infant School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Hook is about 1 mile south-east of Warsash, in Hampshire. Jobs in Hook get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Hook is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 7 miles away.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Move toiletries away from the joint
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hook
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
When to call us in Hook
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
For landlords with property near Swanwick station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What to look for in a quote
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere as small as Hook, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
