Bathroom resealing across RG17: what to expect

Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are splits where the tray meets the wall and water escaping at the shower enclosure.

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on the size of the job.

  1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  3. Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.

How we quote

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Bathrooms and kitchens across RG17

In RG17, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Hungerford, Lambourn and Kintbury to the quieter places in between. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building.

Hungerford: Schools such as Hungerford Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

What happens if it’s left?

A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows.

How we quote for bathroom resealing

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • When we can work, for business premises
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • The product the joint needs

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

What to tell us for a quote

You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

  • The address or postcode of the job
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in RG17 and across West Berkshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.

Different surfaces, different methods

Basins & vanity units

Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.

Shower trays & enclosures

A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
