Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Speen, West Berkshire
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Speen? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Bathroom resealing in Speen, done properly
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about two layers of silicone, both failing and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.
Around Speen, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do 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’ll sort it.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Speen
Speen has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Robert Sandilands Primary School and Nursery? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Speen?
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Rented homes near Newbury station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

FAQs for Speen
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Speen?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newbury station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it generally cannot be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Speen 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.
- 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.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Speen, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
