Bathroom Resealing in Hurstbourne Priors
Bathroom resealing across Hurstbourne Priors and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.

- Leaking joints on a shower screen
How we handle bathroom resealing in Hurstbourne Priors
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. Typical jobs include mouldy sealant that has gone black and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, across shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Somewhere as small as Hurstbourne Priors, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
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 ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

What else we do in Hurstbourne Priors
Leave it or put it right?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hurstbourne Priors, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- You choose the colour before work begins
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Hurstbourne Priors
Do you cover Hurstbourne Priors for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Hurstbourne Priors is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Hurstbourne Priors?
Yes. Hurstbourne Priors is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually cannot be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Hurstbourne Priors, 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.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hurstbourne Priors
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Whitchurch (Hampshire) station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What we are called out for in Hurstbourne Priors
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Schools such as Testbourne Community School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
