How we handle bathroom resealing in Shellingford
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you are dealing with gaps where the bath or tray has moved and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Shellingford makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a small place like Shellingford, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What we’re called out for in Shellingford
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Homes close to Church of St Faith include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How much experience the applicator has
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Failed grout lines across the wall
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Shellingford
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

FAQs for Shellingford
Is Shellingford in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shellingford is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is bathroom resealing in Shellingford guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Shellingford?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
