- Black spots spreading through the bead
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like East Stratton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
How we handle bathroom resealing in East Stratton
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. Typical jobs include gaps where the bath or tray has moved and gaps between the worktop and the wall, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.
For a small place like East Stratton, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
East Stratton homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Common problems we fix in East Stratton
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
If you let a flat or house near Micheldever station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Leave it or put it right?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Stratton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Surface by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
