Bathroom resealing in Upper Lambourn, done properly
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and wet rooms, and people most often call us about failed sealant on the screen profile and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
Around Upper Lambourn, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why act early in Upper Lambourn
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. Around Upper Lambourn, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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 we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Common problems we fix in Upper Lambourn
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Black spots spreading through the bead
In and around Upper Lambourn, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Upper Lambourn, 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.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
