Bathroom resealing in Faringdon, done properly
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. If you have cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can help.
Smaller places like Faringdon still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Around Faringdon, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a smaller place like Faringdon, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Faringdon
Do you take on hotel work around Faringdon?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Will you come out to Faringdon?
Yes, Faringdon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Faringdon homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Faringdon has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as Faringdon Community College, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
