How the job changes 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
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
About our bathroom resealing in Tackley
Across Tackley, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We’re often asked to deal with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Homes around Tackley are mostly 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tackley as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Tackley homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Tackley station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What we are called out for in Tackley
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tackley Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
