Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Burghfield
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are splits where the tray meets the wall and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone.
Homes around Burghfield are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Common questions in Burghfield
Can you do bathroom resealing in Burghfield?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Burghfield is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Burghfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally cannot be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What we’re called out for in Burghfield
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burghfield
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Burghfield
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.
If you look after a building such as Burghfield St Mary's C.E. Primary School, 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. Rented homes near Theale station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.

What else we do in Burghfield
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Burghfield, access is generally the main thing to plan. 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.
- 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, normally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
