How bathroom resealing works in RG10
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Bathroom resealing across RG10: local notes
In RG10, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Woodley, Winnersh and Twyford to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in RG10.
Twyford: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Polehampton Church of England Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Twyford station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Common questions in RG10
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in RG10?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
