About our bathroom resealing in Dunsden Green
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
Somewhere as small as Dunsden Green, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why deal with it now?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. Older cottages and farmhouses around Dunsden Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Dunsden Green?
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
If you let a flat or house near Reading station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
- Who turns up on the day
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Dunsden Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Dunsden Green: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reading station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Dunsden Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Dunsden Green, along with the rest of our area.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Dunsden Green homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around All Saints Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like St Martin's Catholic Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How we quote for bathroom resealing

- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
