How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Upper Woolhampton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
How we handle bathroom resealing in Upper Woolhampton
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about black spots spreading through the bead and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Woolhampton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.

Questions from Upper Woolhampton
Do you work for landlords with property near Midgham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Upper Woolhampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long will the resealing take?
It takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. You’ll know how long to expect before work begins.
What we’re called out for in Upper Woolhampton
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Rented homes near Midgham station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What affects the quote in Upper Woolhampton
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For bathroom resealing in Upper Woolhampton, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Upper Woolhampton
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Woolhampton C.E. Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Douai Abbey Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
