- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Stratfield Saye
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
For landlords with property near Mortimer station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
How we handle bathroom resealing in Stratfield Saye
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We’re often asked to deal with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and gaps between the worktop and the wall, on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Stratfield Saye, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Stratfield Saye
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 Church of St. Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Stratfield Saye questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Mortimer station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Stratfield Saye within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Stratfield Saye and the rest of West Berkshire, along with the rest of our area.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Stratfield Saye, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed grout lines across the wall
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Do not stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
