About our bathroom resealing in Farley Wood
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and people most often call us about leaking joints on a shower screen and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
Homes around Farley Wood range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. 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. For a job in Farley Wood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What else we do in Farley Wood
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Homes in smaller places like Farley Wood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Farley Wood homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Farley Wood. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as Meadow Vale Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around Church of St Mark, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
