DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Stratfield Mortimer
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for smears of silicone across the tiles and water getting behind the bath panel, on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
For a small place like Stratfield Mortimer, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Stratfield Mortimer as everywhere else we work.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Stratfield Mortimer
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Saint John The Evangelist include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Mortimer station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What happens if it’s left?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stratfield Mortimer can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do not 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 happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Stratfield Mortimer, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

Common problems we fix in Stratfield Mortimer
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, 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:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
Managing a site like Mortimer St Mary's C.E. Junior School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

FAQs for Stratfield Mortimer
Is Stratfield Mortimer within the area you cover?
Yes. Stratfield Mortimer is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Mortimer station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
