Remedial sealant in West Reading, done properly
A joint that keeps failing normally has a reason. A tray that moves, a worktop that is not fixed, the wrong sealant or water getting in elsewhere will defeat even a perfect bead. We look for the cause before we reseal. We work on expansion joints, botched or over-sealed joints and shrunken worktop sealant, and common reasons people get in touch are repeat leaks from the same joint and worktop sealant that has shrunk and split.
Around West Reading, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A tray or bath that is cracked
- Water damage behind tiles that needs a tiler
- Movement from fittings that aren’t supported
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean sealant with mild products only
- Act on a lifting corner right away
- Air the bathroom so the sealant can dry
- Have loose fittings fixed before resealing
If we have found a cause, such as a loose tray or a leaking waste, get it fixed, or the new joint may fail again.
Don’t keep resealing the same joint. Get the cause found first, or the next bead will go the same way.
West Reading homes and their sealant
West Reading has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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 Reading West station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mark, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a typical bath or shower, longer where several layers have been applied. In a smaller place like West Reading, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we work out whether the problem is the sealant, movement or a leak.
- Each layer is cut out and the residue cleaned off.
- 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 are told about anything else we found.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

When to call us in West Reading
Movement tears sealant that is not designed for it. Flexing baths, rocking trays and building movement joints will split a rigid or thin bead.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps opening along the back of the worktop
- Torn expansion joints
- Sealant peeling off a dusty or damp surface
- Leaks that keep coming back after resealing
Managing a site like Battle School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.

Surface by surface
Movement & expansion joints
Movement joints in floors, walls and façades need a flexible sealant set to the right depth. Failed sealant is cut out, backing rod or tape is fitted and the joint resealed with a low-modulus product.
Leaking trays & enclosures
If the tray is cracked, or the leak is from the valve or waste, sealant will not fix it. We say so rather than reseal.
