Silchester Bathroom Resealing
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Silchester, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Bathroom resealing in Silchester
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. If you’re dealing with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, we can put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks alike.
Somewhere as small as Silchester, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Silchester needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Silchester homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale 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 Saint Luke's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Silchester Church of England Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something doesn’t look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

More services for Silchester
Do you need bathroom resealing in Silchester?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
For landlords with property near Bramley (Hants) station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Around Silchester, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
