Remedial sealant in Tokers Green, done properly
Some sealant jobs are not a simple reseal, because someone has already had a go. Silicone laid over silicone, smears across tiles, the wrong product in a moving joint or mould trapped underneath all have to come out. If you have repeat leaks from the same joint and dark patches showing through the sealant, we can help, on botched or over-sealed joints, expansion joints and leaking tray & enclosure joints alike.
Homes around Tokers Green are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we can’t put right

- Tiles that have come away from the wall

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the cost of remedial sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why act early in Tokers Green
Repeat failures have a cause. Taking time to find the cause, whether it’s movement, a leak or the wrong product, is what stops it happening again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tokers Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a small place like Tokers Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Surrounding tiles, trays and frames are protected first.
- The botched or failed sealant is cut away completely.
- The joint is degreased and checked for movement and leaks.
- Once dry, a suitable sealant is applied and tooled.
- We give you the cure time and explain what caused the failure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Your questions about remedial sealant in Tokers Green
I let a flat near Tilehurst station. Can you help?

Is Tokers Green in your area for remedial sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tokers Green is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Someone resealed my shower and it’s leaking again. Can you help?
Yes, normally. We check it’s the sealant and not the tray, valve or waste, then strip and reseal the joints.
What if resealing won’t fix my leak?
You will hear it from us. If it’s a cracked tray, a failed valve or a leaking waste, resealing won’t fix it, and we won’t reseal for the sake of it.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Do not add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Ventilation keeps mould away from the new bead: run the fan during and after showers, or open a window.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Have someone find out why, or the next bead will go the same way.
What remedial sealant looks like in Tokers 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.
If you look after a building such as Kidmore End Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Tilehurst station, failed or mouldy sealant is worth putting right between tenancies, before it turns into a leak. If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Windows & doors
Smeared or badly matched mastic can be cut out and redone neatly, in a colour that suits the frame.
Mouldy bath & shower sealant
Mould that has grown into silicone does not clean out for good. All of it comes out, and the joint is treated and dried ahead of a new anti-fungal bead.
