About our bathroom resealing in Ivy Hatch
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and water getting behind the bath panel.
Homes around Ivy Hatch are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Ivy Hatch
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Ivy Hatch

Why deal with it now?
Sorting it now is quick: the work 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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ivy Hatch can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Ivy Hatch
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.
Homes close to Ivy Hatch Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Lawrence Church of England Primary School, 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. If you let a flat or house near Borough Green & Wrotham station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Surface by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere as small as Ivy Hatch, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
