About remedial sealant in Wokingham
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. Every layer is cut out, the residue cleaned off and the joint degreased, taking care not to scratch the surfaces around it. Only then can new sealant bond. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, botched or over-sealed joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and people most often call us about leaks that keep coming back after resealing and beads that never stuck properly.
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out in most cases.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.

Bathrooms and kitchens across Wokingham
In Wokingham, remedial sealant takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Reading, Woodley and Earley to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in Wokingham is planned around the forecast.
Reading: If you live in an older home near All Nations Christian Centre, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Coley Primary 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.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Sealant in an older building that needs testing for asbestos first
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
How we quote for remedial sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

- Access and height
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Frames resealed over the top end up with hard, layered mastic. We remove it all and clean back to sound surfaces before backing and resealing.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints often have grease and cleaning residue deep in them, so we spend extra time cleaning.
Why act early?
Another bead over the top won’t fix a failed joint. It can’t bond to what’s underneath, leaving the leak in place and one more layer to cut out later.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
If the joint ever needs renewing, have it cut out, not sealed over. New silicone doesn’t bond to old, so the old bead should always come out first.
Leaks through failed sealant grow over time. Every shower or downpour sends more water through, into whatever is behind or below. Early action keeps it to a sealant job.
FAQs for Wokingham
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in Wokingham?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We cut out all the layers and clean off the film, then the joint is resealed once.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. Repeat leaks normally come from over-sealing, movement or water getting in elsewhere, and we deal with the cause first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
