- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Fawley Bottom
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
In a village or hamlet like Fawley Bottom, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Fawley Bottom
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Fawley Bottom?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Fawley Bottom
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 an older house near a landmark such as St Mary the Virgin's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we’re called out for in Fawley Bottom
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
If you let a flat or house near Henley-On-Thames station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Surface by surface
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, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Fawley Bottom, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Leave it or put it right?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fawley Bottom can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
