- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Blewbury
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
For landlords with property near Didcot Parkway station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Blewbury, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Bathroom resealing in Blewbury: local notes
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.
Managing a site like Blewbury Endowed Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
