Are you an approved applicator?

About our bathroom resealing in Swan Bottom
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about water getting behind the kitchen upstand and two layers of silicone, both failing.
Around Swan Bottom, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Bathroom resealing in Swan Bottom: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Parish Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Lee Common Church of England School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Swan Bottom, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.

What we’re called out for in Swan Bottom
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
For landlords with property near Great Missenden station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why deal with it now?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Swan Bottom, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
