Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Old Hawkinge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Old Hawkinge
Is Old Hawkinge within the area you cover?
Yes. Old Hawkinge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Folkestone Central station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
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 tell you what we are using.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You’re not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We will talk it through when we quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Old Hawkinge homes and their sealant
Old Hawkinge 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Hawkinge Primary School are buildings too, and 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. Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Old Hawkinge?
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
If you let a flat or house near Folkestone Central station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What happens if it’s left?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite. Older cottages and farmhouses around Old Hawkinge can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
