Bathroom resealing in Mortimer West End

Leave it or put it right?

Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mortimer West End can have timber 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, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

About our bathroom resealing in Mortimer West End

Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.

In a village or hamlet like Mortimer West End, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Mortimer West End

Is Mortimer West End in your area for bathroom resealing?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Mortimer West End is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.

Do you work for landlords with property near Mortimer station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.

Do I have to be there?

That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

What do you need from me for a quote?

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.

Should I try DIY first?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

How long before the new sealant can get wet?

Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the bead with a towel now and then
  • Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after every shower

Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.

Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally will not remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

Mortimer West End homes and their sealant

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 The Parish Church of St.Saviours, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Silchester Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Mortimer station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What the job involves on each surface

Shower trays & enclosures

Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Baths

Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.

DIY versus a professional finish

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

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.

What we do, step by step

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere as small as Mortimer West End, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

  • When we can work, for business premises
  • The product the joint needs
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The number of rooms or windows

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Asking for a quote

You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • The address or postcode of the job

We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
