Baths, showers and worktops in Elvendon need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.

Bathroom resealing in Elvendon, done properly
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. If you have failed sealant on the screen profile and two layers of silicone, both failing, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Elvendon, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Elvendon, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Elvendon
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Rented homes near Goring & Streatley station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Elvendon
Sorting it now is quick: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Around Elvendon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

What affects the quote in Elvendon
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
