About our bathroom resealing in Aldermaston Wharf
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. Typical jobs include a joint torn by a bath that flexes and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
Homes around Aldermaston Wharf are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Aldermaston Wharf and across West Berkshire.

What we are called out for in Aldermaston Wharf
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Aldermaston Wharf, access is usually 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?

Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Failed grout lines across the wall
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
What happens if it’s left?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aldermaston Wharf can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Aldermaston Wharf
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
