Bathroom resealing in Caversham, done properly
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you have cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can put it right.
In a town like Caversham, older streets sit alongside newer estates, and bathrooms range from decades-old suites to brand-new ones. Whatever their age, sealant and grout tend to go before anything else.

When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Basins & vanity units

- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
Common problems we fix in Caversham
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.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
Schools such as The Hill Primary School are buildings too, and 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: the work 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. In a family home in Caversham, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you can’t see, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What affects the quote in Caversham
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, depending on the amount of work. In Caversham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Caversham: local notes
Caversham has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Grace Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Reading station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Caversham
Do you take on hotel work around Caversham?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover Caversham for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Caversham is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
