About bathroom resealing in Slough
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about leaks into the floor or ceiling below and gaps between the worktop and the wall.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Where we work in Slough
Homes across Slough range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in Slough, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Slough: Managing a site like Herschel Grammar 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. Homes close to St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Why deal with it now?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.

When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Questions from Slough
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
