Wooden Hill homes and their sealant
Bracknell, which Wooden Hill is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Bracknell station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Wooden Hill Primary and Nursery School, 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.

Bathroom resealing in Wooden Hill
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Being in a small place like Wooden Hill makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Wooden Hill
Why it’s worth doing now in Wooden Hill
Sorting it now is quick: it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Around Wooden Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We agree the colour with you first
Take a look at what affects the cost and what customers say.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wooden Hill
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Wooden Hill and across Bracknell Forest. We can quote a run of properties together.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Wooden Hill
Do older homes in Wooden Hill need their sealant replacing?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant won’t bond to it.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bracknell station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Do you come to Wooden Hill?
We do. Our applicators work in Wooden Hill, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Wooden Hill, 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
