Bathroom resealing in Longlane
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We are often asked to deal with sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
In a village or hamlet like Longlane, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Longlane as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Longlane
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. A new bead often brings the whole room back. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. In a small place like Longlane, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Longlane
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Newbury Racecourse station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Schools such as Curridge Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common problems we fix in Longlane
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually will not clean off.
The most common problems we see are:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Water getting behind the bath panel
In the older streets around Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
What else we do in Longlane
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

Letting agents and landlords in Longlane can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere as small as Longlane, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
