Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.

Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a photo of the joints, and we will give you a clear quote before any work starts. If you have a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, we can put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units alike.
Homes around Caversham Heights range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.

What affects the quote in Caversham Heights
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom for a typical job. A visit to Caversham Heights is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- 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
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Caversham Heights
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
