Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Harcourt Hill
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. Typical jobs include leaks into the floor or ceiling below and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.
Around Harcourt Hill, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

FAQs for Harcourt Hill
Is Harcourt Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work in hotels near Harcourt Hill?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Harcourt Hill?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Harcourt Hill
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Harcourt Hill. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. 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.
For landlords with property near Oxford station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In the older streets around Church of St Lawrence, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

When to call us in Harcourt Hill
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
If you look after a building such as Matthew Arnold 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.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
