About our bathroom resealing in West Hanney
With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across West Hanney. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job carries our one-year guarantee. If you are dealing with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like West Hanney, 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.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Why act early in West Hanney
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Hanney, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like West Hanney, access is generally the main thing to plan. 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.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Do you need bathroom resealing in West Hanney?
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
In the older streets around Church of St James, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in West Hanney
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
West Hanney questions
Is West Hanney in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, West Hanney is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with bathroom resealing in West Hanney?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
