What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as Shillingford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Bathroom resealing in Shillingford
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. 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. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. Typical jobs include gaps between the worktop and the wall and two layers of silicone, both failing, across kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures.
Around Shillingford, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When to call us in Shillingford
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Letting a property close to Cholsey station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
What affects the quote in Shillingford
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Shillingford
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Shillingford. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as St Laurence Church of England (A) School, 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. Homes close to Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Common questions in Shillingford
Is Shillingford within the area you cover?
Yes, Shillingford is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Shillingford?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Normally after around 24 hours. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
