Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Burghclere
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We’re often asked to deal with gaps between the worktop and the wall and damp behind the bath or under the tray, across wet rooms, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks.
Being in a small place like Burghclere makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Older cottages and farmhouses around Burghclere can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Burghclere, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
What bathroom resealing looks like in Burghclere
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burghclere Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of the Ascension, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally will not remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.

How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Burghclere?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.

Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Burghclere?
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
Rented homes near Newbury 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.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What preparation is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
