Your questions about bathroom resealing in Arborfield
I let a flat near Winnersh station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Arborfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Bathroom resealing in Arborfield, done properly
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, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Arborfield, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Arborfield needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Bathrooms and kitchens in Arborfield
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 The Coombes Church of England 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. In the older streets around Church of St Bartholomew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Common problems we fix in Arborfield
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Rented homes near Winnersh station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What preparation is included
- How much experience the applicator has

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
