Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Bathroom resealing in Shirrell Heath
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, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. Typical jobs include gaps where the bath or tray has moved and black spots spreading through the bead, across kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and baths.
Homes around Shirrell Heath are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually won’t remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Shirrell Heath, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Common problems we fix in Shirrell Heath
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally won’t clean off.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Schools such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Shirrell Heath: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Botley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Shirrell Heath?
Yes, Shirrell Heath is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
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.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

Bathroom resealing in Shirrell Heath: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Botley station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Leave it or put it right?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Around Shirrell Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before we start.
