DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Emmington needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Landlord and commercial work in Emmington
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How much does bathroom resealing cost in Emmington?

Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
What do you put in the joint?

What bathroom resealing looks like in Emmington
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mill Lane Community Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
What we are called out for in Emmington
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
If you let a flat or house near Princes Risborough station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
