About our bathroom resealing in Five Ashes
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. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about splits where the tray meets the wall and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
Somewhere as small as Five Ashes, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Five Ashes, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common problems we fix in Five Ashes
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Black spots spreading through the bead
Homes close to Church of the Good Shepherd include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
