Our bathroom resealing service in OX49
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Typical jobs include shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands.
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Around Watlington

Bathroom resealing across OX49: local notes
Our bathroom resealing work across OX49 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Watlington, Aston Rowant and Lewknor to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building.
Watlington: For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Watlington Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Why it fails
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through

OX49 questions
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in OX49?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Is white the only colour available?
