What bathroom resealing looks like in Earlstone Common
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.
In the older streets around Church of the Ascension, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Newbury station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Earlstone Common, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
What we are called out for in Earlstone Common
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
If you look after a building such as The Clere School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
