What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Hawthorn, the journey is planned in advance: 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 we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- All the old sealant comes out, including any layers underneath.
- We clean the joint, treat any mould and let it dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- The new joint is tooled neatly and we explain anything else we found.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How we handle remedial sealant in Hawthorn
Removing failed sealant is the hardest part of the job. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. Only then can new sealant bond. If you are dealing with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and a second bead peeling off the first, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Hawthorn, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Remedial sealant around Hawthorn
Hawthorn is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Reculver Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Will you come out to Hawthorn?

Can you do remedial sealant in Hawthorn?
Yes, Hawthorn is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How much does remedial sealant cost in Hawthorn?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Can you take off two layers of silicone?
Yes. Stripping layered sealant takes longer than a normal reseal, but it’s what makes the new bead last.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How long does remedial resealing take?
Allow a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. You will know the timing when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A leaking trap, valve or supply pipe
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Signs you need remedial sealant in Hawthorn
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Residue, moisture or dust left in the joint weaken the bond, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants.

What the job involves on each surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
A shower that leaks after resealing often has a tray that moves or an enclosure sealed on the wrong side. We check both before any new sealant goes on.
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. We remove the failed sealant, fit backing and reseal.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, 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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
