Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Shorthampton, Oxfordshire
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Shorthampton, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
How we handle bathroom resealing in Shorthampton
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and water getting behind the bath panel, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Shorthampton, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Shorthampton?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What product goes in the joint
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
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.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Common questions in Shorthampton
Will you come out to Shorthampton?
Yes. Shorthampton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Charlbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Shorthampton?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shorthampton
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shorthampton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere like Shorthampton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
