Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
My shower still leaks after a reseal. Can you sort it?
Yes. There’s normally a reason: sealant over sealant, movement or another leak, so we find that first.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes, for 12 months. Where we have flagged another fault, it needs fixing for the joint to last.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Can you remove sealant that’s been put over old sealant?
Yes. Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off, then the joint is resealed once.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Remedial sealant in Longlane, done properly
If a joint fails again and again, something is causing it. Movement, the wrong product or a leak from somewhere else will defeat even a perfect bead. Finding that cause comes before any new sealant. We work on failed movement joints, leaking tray & enclosure joints and mouldy bath & shower sealant, and the jobs we see most are a second bead peeling off the first and torn expansion joints.
Being in a small place like Longlane makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
- Never seal over old silicone
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Keep movement joints clear of mortar and paint
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
Warning signs: peeling layers, mould showing through the bead, leaks after showering or cracks in a movement joint. Any of them means it’s time for remedial work.
Why act early in Longlane
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful removal is most of a remedial job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Longlane, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Longlane, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- The failure is looked at first, so we know whether it’s sealant, movement or water from elsewhere.
- Old beads and residue are removed down to clean surfaces.
- We treat any mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you’re told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Longlane homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Curridge Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
