How bathroom resealing works in Wokingham
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about smears of silicone across the tiles and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom and we leave things clean and tidy.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- 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 Wokingham
From Reading, Woodley and Earley to its smaller places, homes across Wokingham have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials, wherever it is in Wokingham.
Reading: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Coley Primary School, 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. For landlords with property near Reading West station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Why it fails
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
What affects the quote in Wokingham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Wokingham: your questions answered
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
