How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a village or hamlet like Hartwell, 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.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

How we handle bathroom resealing in Hartwell
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 behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are a reseal done over the top of the old bead and smears of silicone across the tiles.
Somewhere as small as Hartwell, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Questions from Hartwell
Is Hartwell in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hartwell is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aylesbury station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Bathroom resealing in Hartwell: local notes
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.
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Stone Church of England Combined School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Letting a property close to Aylesbury station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Around Hartwell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
