Questions from Upper Wield
Will you come out to Upper Wield?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Upper Wield for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Upper Wield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Bathroom resealing in Upper Wield, done properly
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and the jobs we see most are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and water escaping at the shower enclosure.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Wield, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Upper Wield and across Hampshire.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Around Upper Wield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What else we do in Upper Wield
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Upper Wield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Upper Wield
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
In and around Upper Wield, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
