Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in West Ilsley
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Common call-outs are for mouldy sealant that has gone black and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths.
Somewhere as small as West Ilsley, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like West Ilsley 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.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Common problems we fix in West Ilsley
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. In a small place like West Ilsley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
