- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.

Remedial sealant in Hanworth
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out before the joint can be done properly. If you have smears and lumps from a botched reseal and beads that never stuck properly, we can put it right.
Even in a smaller place like Hanworth, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hanworth
Hanworth is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Pines School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

FAQs for Hanworth
I let a flat near Bracknell station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Hanworth?
If it hasn’t been replaced for some years, it’s generally worth it. Sealant does not last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather, and many homes in Hanworth may already be on their second or third set.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, then clean off the residue. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
What does remedial sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.

Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.

Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Hanworth.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Repeat mould normally points to a damp, poorly aired room. Along with resealing, we will mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Movement & expansion joints
Joints filled with mortar, grout or rigid filler can’t move. We rake that out where it can be removed and seal with a flexible product.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A bath, tray or worktop that moves until it’s properly fixed
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Expansion joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Run the fan after every shower
Go easy on the new sealant: a mild cleaner and a soft cloth, with no blades or scourers.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
