Bathroom resealing in Shellow Bowells, done properly
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Typical jobs include mouldy sealant that has gone black and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms.
Somewhere as small as Shellow Bowells, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shellow Bowells
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shellow Bowells can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, 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.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We agree the colour with you first
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
Do you need bathroom resealing in Shellow Bowells?
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Surface by surface
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.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
