How we handle bathroom resealing in Fencott
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you are dealing with gaps where the bath or tray has moved and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Fencott makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Common questions in Fencott
Do you cover smaller places like Fencott?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Islip station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long will the resealing take?
Allow half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
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.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Fencott?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. For a village or hamlet like Fencott, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Other services in Fencott
Do you need bathroom resealing in Fencott?
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Schools such as Charlton-on-Otmoor Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
What affects the quote in Fencott
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Fencott, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why act early in Fencott
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, 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. In a small place like Fencott, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
