When to call us in Burghfield Bridge
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Schools such as Kennet Valley Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Burghfield Bridge
Homes in Burghfield Bridge have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We are often asked to deal with gaps between the worktop and the wall and water escaping at the shower enclosure, across kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Homes around Burghfield Bridge are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Burghfield Bridge, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, 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.
- 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, generally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Bathrooms and kitchens in Burghfield Bridge
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.
Rented homes near Reading Green Park station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For an older house near a landmark such as St Matthew's, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Burghfield Bridge: your questions answered
Do you cover Burghfield Bridge for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Burghfield Bridge is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Burghfield Bridge within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
