Common questions in Appleshaw
Will you come out to Appleshaw?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Appleshaw in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Appleshaw is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Appleshaw?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

What else we do in Appleshaw
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
What happens if it’s left?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Older cottages and farmhouses around Appleshaw can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common problems we fix in Appleshaw
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter in the Wood, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Surface by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Appleshaw 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.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Appleshaw homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Andover station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
