How we handle bathroom resealing in Freefolk
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include water escaping at the shower enclosure and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Homes around Freefolk are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Bathroom resealing in Freefolk: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Freefolk
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. Around Freefolk, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Freefolk questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Freefolk within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What sealant 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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re fully insured.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Freefolk, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

- The rough size of the job

What we’re called out for in Freefolk
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Testbourne Community School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- What preparation is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
