Inkpen Bathroom Resealing
Baths, showers and worktops in Inkpen need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Bathrooms and kitchens in Inkpen
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inkpen Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

About our bathroom resealing in Inkpen
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. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps between the worktop and the wall and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
Around Inkpen, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Inkpen needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
When to call us in Inkpen
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Rented homes near Kintbury station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Failed grout lines across the wall
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
