DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Remedial sealant for homes and businesses in Skinners Green
Two decades of sealant work means we recognise most failures quickly. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and remedial work carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on shrunken worktop sealant, mouldy bath & shower sealant and expansion joints, and the jobs we see most are wide, uneven beads that look worse than the old ones and leaks that keep coming back after resealing.
Being in a small place like Skinners Green makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Skinners Green and across West Berkshire.

What happens if it’s left?
A failed seal rarely means a new bathroom. If the bath, tray and tiles are sound, remedial resealing normally puts it right. Where something else has failed, you’ll hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Skinners Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Skinners Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Skinners Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Newbury station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you fix a reseal that hasn’t worked?
Yes. We’ll take all the sealant out, look for why it failed and reseal it properly.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes. The old bead is cut and lifted with tools that suit the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Someone sealed over the old bead. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove every layer; new silicone doesn’t bond to old silicone, which is why over-sealing fails.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Skinners Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Newbury station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. Managing a site like John Rankin Infant and Nursery School? Then 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.

How the job changes by surface
Worktops & kitchens
Shrunken worktop sealant leaves a gap that lets water into the back edge. We strip it, degrease the joint and reseal colour-matched to the worktop.
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.
Common problems we fix in Skinners Green
How a joint is built matters as much as the product. A bead bonded on three sides, or laid too thick, cannot flex, and tears at the first real movement. Backing sets the depth and stops that.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Decorators’ caulk around a bath or shower
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Dark patches showing through the sealant
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Michael, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Older mastics that may need an asbestos check before removal
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Expansion joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for most joints, depending on how much old sealant has to come out. In a small place like Skinners Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the surfaces around the joint.
- Every layer of failed sealant is stripped out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
