Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Compton, West Berkshire
Baths, showers and worktops in Compton need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
How we handle bathroom resealing in Compton
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Somewhere as small as Compton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Compton and across West Berkshire.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.

Questions from Compton
Do you cover smaller places like Compton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Compton in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Compton is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Bathroom resealing in Compton: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Common problems we fix in Compton
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Schools such as Compton C.E. Primary School are buildings too, and 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.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Compton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
