Bathroom resealing in Tickleback Row
Homes in Tickleback Row have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. If you have a joint torn by a bath that flexes and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, we can put it right.
Homes around Tickleback Row are mostly 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tickleback Row and across Bracknell Forest.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere as small as Tickleback Row, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Tickleback Row: your questions answered
Is Tickleback Row within the area you cover?
Yes. Tickleback Row is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bracknell station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Common problems we fix in Tickleback Row
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Managing a site like Garth Hill College? 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.

Landlord and commercial work in Tickleback Row
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Tickleback Row homes and their sealant
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Bracknell station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
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.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
