Mapledurham questions
Do you cover Mapledurham for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Mapledurham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Tilehurst station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Mapledurham
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. If you’re dealing with failed sealant on the screen profile and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can help, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Homes around Mapledurham are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why act early in Mapledurham
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. Older cottages and farmhouses around Mapledurham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Mapledurham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
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

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
If you’re in Mapledurham and need bathroom resealing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Surface by surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Mapledurham
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Tilehurst station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In the older streets around Church of St Margaret and Bardolf Aisle, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Purley CofE Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
