What bathroom resealing looks like in New Town

Bathroom resealing in New Town, done properly
Across New Town, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about gaps where the bath or tray has moved and two layers of silicone, both failing.
Being in a small place like New Town makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

New Town: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pangbourne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do bathroom resealing in New Town?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and New Town is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support

Common problems we fix in New Town
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
If you live in an older home near St Stephen's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- The length of the guarantee
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they’re fully insured
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom in most cases. For a village or hamlet like New Town, 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 protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Why act early in New Town
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows. Around New Town, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
