About our remedial sealant in Newbury
Not every leak is a sealant leak. Cracked trays, leaking wastes and faulty valves often look like a sealant problem. If that is what we find, we will tell you rather than reseal something that will not fix it. We are often asked to deal with kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop and sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface, across mouldy bath & shower sealant, leaking tray & enclosure joints and botched or over-sealed joints.
Newbury mixes older houses with estates built more recently, so bathrooms range from long-standing suites to recent refits. Whatever their age, sealant and grout tend to go before anything else.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newbury as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Newbury
I let a flat near Newbury station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Newbury for remedial sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Newbury is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
What does remedial sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
How the job changes by surface
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Black mould inside the bead won’t scrub out. The sealant is cut out completely, the joint treated with a mould remover and dried before anti-fungal sanitary silicone goes in.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We’ll tell you what we find.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing generally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Around Newbury, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A tray or worktop that needs refixing first
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need remedial sealant in Newbury
Silicone only bonds to surfaces that are clean and dry. Soap film, dust, damp or old residue stop it gripping, so it starts lifting sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Products that weren’t meant for the joint
- Floor or wall movement joints that have failed
- Mould trapped under a layer of silicone
- Sealant that came away because the surface wasn’t prepared
Schools such as St Nicolas C.E. Junior School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Bathrooms and kitchens in Newbury
Newbury has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Newbury station? Then botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. If you live in an older home near St Nicolas Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Deal with small splits early
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Check trays and worktops don’t move
- Never fill a movement joint with mortar or grout
Go easy on the new sealant: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out, depending on the size of the job. Parking in a town like Newbury is normally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- Mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We reseal with a product suited to the joint, backed where needed.
- The joint is tooled and you are told about anything else we found.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
