The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere as small as Peppard Hill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Bathroom resealing in Peppard Hill, done properly
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We’re often asked to deal with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and water getting behind the bath panel, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Homes around Peppard Hill are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Peppard Hill
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Henley-On-Thames station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Peppard Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Peppard Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Peppard Hill?
Yes. Peppard Hill 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Peppard Hill and the rest of Oxfordshire.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Peppard Hill
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
For an older house near a landmark such as The Church of Christ the King, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlord and commercial work in Peppard Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
