Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Little Hungerford, West Berkshire
Bathroom resealing across Little Hungerford and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Common problems we fix in Little Hungerford
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Little Hungerford, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Hungerford can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
Read what affects the cost and what customers say.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. A dry joint lasts longer.
Watch for the early signs: 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.
