What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Shippon, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What bathroom resealing looks like in Shippon
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

If you let a flat or house near Radley station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

What we are called out for in Shippon
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
If you look after a building such as Larkmead School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.

What else we do in Shippon
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shippon can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why Shippon clients choose us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
