What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as South Hanningfield, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
How we handle bathroom resealing in South Hanningfield
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. If you have damp behind the bath or under the tray and mouldy sealant that has gone black, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like South Hanningfield, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Leave it or put it right?
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Around South Hanningfield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What we’re called out for in South Hanningfield
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, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the bath panel
If you let a flat or house near Wickford station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths

Bathroom resealing in South Hanningfield: local notes
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from South Hanningfield
I let a flat near Wickford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do bathroom resealing in South Hanningfield?
Yes, South Hanningfield is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
