How we handle bathroom resealing in Newbury's

With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across Newbury's. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.

Homes around Newbury's are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.

What we cannot put right

Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
Failed grout lines across the wall

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Newbury's

We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:

Any mould that needs treating
Which sealant suits the joint
How many areas need sealing
Any working-time requirements on site

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Asking for a quote

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

Any previous sealing or DIY work
Roughly how big the job is
If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Newbury's

A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.

The problems people usually mention when they call include:

Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Splits where the tray meets the wall
Smears of silicone across the tiles
A reseal done over the top of the old bead

Rented homes near Wadhurst station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Should I try it myself first?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

How to look after the new joints

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Move toiletries away from the joint
Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Wipe the sealant dry after showering

Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.

Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Newbury's

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.

If you look after a building such as Uplands Community College, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Rehoboth Chapel, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Which products do you use?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Can new silicone go straight over the old?

No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.

How long before the new sealant can get wet?

We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.

Is there any odour?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.

Is it worth trying it myself?

You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.

What happens on the day

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Newbury's, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

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.
Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
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.
