What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Ellesborough
Do you cover smaller places like Ellesborough?
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.
Is Ellesborough in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ellesborough is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Usually after around 24 hours. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Ellesborough?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Around Ellesborough, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Ellesborough
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Kimble Church of England School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Little Kimble station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Ellesborough, 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.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
