Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Ducklington, Oxfordshire
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Ducklington? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
What we are called out for in Ducklington
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Schools such as Ducklington 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.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Ducklington, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Allow two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. You will know how long to expect before work begins.

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will the old sealant be removed?

Bathrooms and kitchens in Ducklington
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Ducklington. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
