About our bathroom resealing in Aythorpe Roding
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We are often asked to deal with shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands.
For a small place like Aythorpe Roding, 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 guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Aythorpe Roding needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Leave it or put it right?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In a small place like Aythorpe Roding, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Aythorpe Roding

Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

When to call us in Aythorpe Roding
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether VAT is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Schools such as Rodings Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
