Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Drayton, Oxfordshire
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Drayton, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
How we handle bathroom resealing in Drayton
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Common call-outs are for damp behind the bath or under the tray and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, across baths, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks.
Around Drayton, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Landlord and commercial work in Drayton
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try it myself first?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Parking around Drayton is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Bathroom resealing around Drayton
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.
Schools such as Drayton Community Primary School are buildings too, and 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. In the older streets around Church of Saint Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Appleford station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Drayton: your questions answered
Do you cover Drayton for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Drayton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Appleford station?

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Drayton
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you are letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. In an older home around Drayton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
