What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Bathroom resealing in Farmoor
Homes in Farmoor have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. Typical jobs include gaps where the bath or tray has moved and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, across baths, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.
In a village or hamlet like Farmoor, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Bathroom resealing in Farmoor: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bartholomew School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Farmoor needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Farmoor
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Look out for these signs:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Which colour the sealant will be
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Common questions in Farmoor

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Yes, Farmoor is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.

Why it’s worth doing now in Farmoor
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, and that is a far bigger job than a reseal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Farmoor can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
