Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Bathroom resealing in Stone in Oxney, done properly
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. Typical jobs include smears of silicone across the tiles and black spots spreading through the bead, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Being in a small place like Stone in Oxney makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why deal with it now?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead will not last. In a small place like Stone in Oxney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Is white the only colour available?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Is it worth trying it myself?

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere like Stone in Oxney 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.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units

Common problems we fix in Stone in Oxney
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
