Yattendon questions
Is Yattendon within the area you cover?
Yes. Yattendon 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 do bathroom resealing in Yattendon?
Yes, Yattendon is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Yattendon
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath panel and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Somewhere as small as Yattendon, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

What else we do in Yattendon
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually won’t remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom in most cases. In a small place like Yattendon, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
When to call us in Yattendon
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
If you let a flat or house near Goring & Streatley station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Bathroom resealing in Yattendon: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Yattendon C.E. Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
