- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Medmenham
Homes in Medmenham have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. If you have new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Medmenham, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Medmenham
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. Medmenham has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Henley-On-Thames station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Medmenham is about 3 miles south-west of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. Jobs in Medmenham get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Medmenham
Silicone doesn’t last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
If you look after a building such as Danesfield School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Medmenham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Medmenham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Medmenham?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Why it’s worth doing now in Medmenham
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a small place like Medmenham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Medmenham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Landlord and commercial work in Medmenham
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
