How we handle bathroom resealing in Botley
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and the jobs we see most are leaks into the floor or ceiling below and black spots spreading through the bead.
In a smaller place like Botley, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Botley and across Oxfordshire.

What else we do in Botley
What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back. If something else is wrong, we’ll tell you. In a smaller place like Botley, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Botley
Do you work in hotels near Botley?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Botley
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Botley. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Botley School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. A visit to Botley is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
