Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Catslip homes and their sealant
Catslip has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Nettlebed Community School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Henley-On-Thames station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

FAQs for Catslip
Is Catslip within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Henley-On-Thames station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Catslip?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What colours of sealant can you use?
You are not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We will talk it through when we quote.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

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.
Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it will not bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around Catslip, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere as small as Catslip, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Advice
Do you need bathroom resealing in Catslip?
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Homes close to Church of St Bartholomew include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
