Bathroom resealing in Childrey
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, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We are often asked to deal with new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and damp behind the bath or under the tray, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Being in a small place like Childrey makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How the job changes by surface
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.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Childrey
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Ridgeway Church of England (C) Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Childrey, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Childrey
Sorting it now is quick: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. In a small place like Childrey, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
