Bathroom resealing in Shawford
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We’re often asked to deal with leaks into the floor or ceiling below and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, across kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Homes around Shawford are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Shawford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Landlord and commercial work in Shawford
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shawford
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Around Shawford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What affects the quote in Shawford
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Common problems we fix in Shawford
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
