How bathroom resealing works in RG26

The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. 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 baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about water getting behind the kitchen upstand and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom in most cases.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Where we work in RG26

In RG26, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Tadley, Rooksdown and Bramley to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in RG26, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.

Tadley: Schools such as Bishopswood Junior School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Saint Mary's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

When it is not the sealant

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

  • Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through
  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant

Can I do it myself?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

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.

What affects the quote in RG26

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Access and height
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Asking for a quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Roughly how big the job is
  • Whether it’s a home or a business

If you’re in RG26 and need bathroom resealing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.

For landlords and businesses

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Landlords and letting agents in RG26 can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

What happens if it’s left?

Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair.

What your quote should include

  • Is VAT in the price?
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • How hidden problems are handled
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Questions from RG26

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.

Do you work in RG26?

Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes RG26.

How long does a bath or shower reseal take?

That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.

What do you put in the joint?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.

Can new silicone go straight over the old?

No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.

My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?

Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
