Our bathroom resealing service in HP9

We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about a reseal done over the top of the old bead and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.

1. We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
2. Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
3. We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
4. A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
5. We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Local landmarks in Beaconsfield

Around Beaconsfield, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Chiltern pub, Beaconsfield High School and Butlers Court School and the streets around them. You will also find Church of St Michael and All Angels (within half a mile north-east) and Davenies School (less than half a mile east). There’s a railway station in Beaconsfield itself: Beaconsfield station. Well-known places in the area include High Wycombe Castle (4.6 miles west) and Chalfonts and Gerrards Cross Hospital (3.7 miles east). Not far away are Holtspur Bank.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

• Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
• Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
• Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
• Dry the bead with a towel now and then

Do not stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.

Small signs come before a leak: 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.
