Carterton: your questions answered
Is Carterton in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Carterton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is bathroom resealing in Carterton guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Carterton
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Typical jobs include two layers of silicone, both failing and mouldy sealant that has gone black, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures.
Homes around Carterton have been extended and refitted over the decades, some more than once. Sealant run over the top of an old bead is a common cause of leaks and mould, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
When to call us in Carterton
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Black mould and gaps in sealant do not fix themselves, and in a busy home in Carterton they get worse with every use. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a job in Carterton, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
