About our bathroom resealing in Great Tew
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We are often asked to deal with leaks into the floor or ceiling below and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Around Great Tew, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Tew as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
For bathroom resealing in Great Tew, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Great Tew
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Great Tew, 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.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What bathroom resealing looks like in Great Tew
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Leave it or put it right?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Tew can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Great Tew: your questions answered
Is Great Tew in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Great Tew is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Great Tew?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Common problems we fix in Great Tew
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
If you look after a building such as Great Tew County Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
