Bathrooms and kitchens in Lower Earley
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Earley station, botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For an older house near a landmark such as Trinity Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, and the area is left clean. Parking around Lower Earley is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- We strip the joint completely, removing any layers below.
- The joint is cleaned, treated for mould and left to dry.
- Moving joints get backing and a flexible sealant to suit.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep an eye on the ceiling below the bathroom
- Check trays and worktops do not move
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
Don’t let anyone seal over it later. Over-sealing is how many remedial jobs start.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Earley
Stripping out botched sealant adds time to a reseal, but rarely a lot: it takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. It’s far less disruption than resealing the same joint again and again. In a smaller place like Lower Earley, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- We agree the colour with you first
- We never seal over old sealant
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
Take a look at what affects the cost or customer reviews.
Surface by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Where mould keeps coming back, ventilation is generally part of the cause. Along with resealing, we’ll mention if the room needs better ventilation.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, which we’ll point out.
Common problems we fix in Lower Earley
A lot of failed joints have been sealed over rather than replaced. Silicone does not bond to silicone, so the top layer lifts and water and mould collect between the two.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- A second bead peeling off the first
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Radstock Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
