Arreton: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandown station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Arreton within the area you cover?
Yes. Arreton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone does not bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Bathroom resealing in Arreton, done properly
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. We’re often asked to deal with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and splits where the tray meets the wall, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
For a small place like Arreton, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Arreton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What affects the quote in Arreton
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Arreton
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Rented homes near Sandown station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
Bathrooms and kitchens in Arreton
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.
In the older streets around St. George's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
