Postcombe questions
Is Postcombe within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in Postcombe?
All our work, in Postcombe and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
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.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Postcombe
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We’re often asked to deal with a reseal done over the top of the old bead and water escaping at the shower enclosure, across kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Somewhere as small as Postcombe, 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.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
What we are called out for in Postcombe
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Postcombe
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Postcombe, 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.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
