Bathrooms and kitchens in Burghfield Common
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Garland Junior 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.

About our remedial sealant in Burghfield Common
Water on the floor does not always mean failed silicone. A cracked tray, a failed shower valve or a leaking waste can look just the same. If that’s what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. We work on botched or over-sealed joints, failed movement joints and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are repeat leaks from the same joint and products that weren’t meant for the joint.
Homes around Burghfield Common range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How we quote for remedial sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burghfield Common
Landlords and letting agents in Burghfield Common can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Burghfield Common and across West Berkshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Burghfield Common is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- We clean and degrease the joint and look for signs of movement or water.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- You get the cure time and our view on why the joint failed.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Movement & expansion joints
A sealant stuck to the back of the joint can’t stretch. Backing stops that, so the sealant grips the two sides only.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Burghfield Common
Joint depth matters. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, can’t flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing rod or bond-breaker tape prevents it.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
- Thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
Rented homes near Mortimer station change hands often, and failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak.
