How we handle bathroom resealing in Lambourn Woodlands
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Typical jobs include water escaping at the shower enclosure and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, across sinks & splashbacks, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands.
In a village or hamlet like Lambourn Woodlands, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Lambourn Woodlands
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere like Lambourn Woodlands 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.
- 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, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Common problems we fix in Lambourn Woodlands
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
For landlords with property near Hungerford station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
