Bowsey Hill: your questions answered
I let a flat near Wargrave station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Bowsey Hill?
Yes. Bowsey Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Bowsey Hill?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally cannot be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Bowsey Hill
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Bowsey Hill, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Bowsey Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Bowsey Hill
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bowsey Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Bowsey Hill homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St Paul's Mission Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Wargrave station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Managing a site like Crazies Hill CofE Primary School? Then 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.
