DIY versus a professional finish
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our bathroom resealing in Ashampstead Green
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. Typical jobs include lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
Being in a small place like Ashampstead Green makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Ashampstead Green and across Oxfordshire.

What else we do in Ashampstead Green
Do you need bathroom resealing in Ashampstead Green?
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
If you live in an older home near Church of St Clement, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a village or hamlet like Ashampstead Green, 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.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is normally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Ashampstead Green
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Goring & Streatley station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Ashampstead Green?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
