- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Begbroke, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Begbroke, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
When to call us in Begbroke
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
For landlords with property near Oxford Parkway station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Begbroke, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
How we quote for bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
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, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Begbroke homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as William Fletcher Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Philip, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
