Bathroom resealing in Risinghurst

The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you’re dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and water getting behind the bath panel, we can help, whatever the surface.

In a smaller place like Risinghurst, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.

Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Risinghurst and across Oxfordshire.

What we are called out for in Risinghurst

Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.

Look out for these signs:

  • New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
  • Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
  • A joint torn by a bath that flexes

Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.

Why it’s worth doing now in Risinghurst

You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. Homes in smaller places like Risinghurst can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Why us?

  • Colour agreed with you before any work starts
  • 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
  • Arbo and Everbuild products
  • Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

See what affects the cost or what customers say.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Where we work in Risinghurst

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Basins & vanity units

Surface by surface

Sinks & splashbacks

Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.

How it works

When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. In a smaller place like Risinghurst, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  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. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on

How to get a quote

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Bathroom resealing around Risinghurst

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bayards Hill School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Do you have insurance?
