- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
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 getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Emmer Green
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you are dealing with two layers of silicone, both failing and mouldy sealant that has gone black, we can help.
In a smaller place like Emmer Green, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a smaller place like Emmer Green, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
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. In an older home around Emmer Green, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

Bathroom resealing around Emmer Green
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.
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. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hill Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near St Barnabas Church Hall, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
