Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Burghfield Common
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. If you have mouldy sealant that has gone black and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around Burghfield Common, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Bathroom resealing around Burghfield Common
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Mortimer station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Garland Junior School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Homes in smaller places like Burghfield Common can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Burghfield Common
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Mortimer station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Burghfield Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Burghfield Common
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
Landlord and commercial work in Burghfield Common
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a smaller place like Burghfield Common, 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 cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
