About our bathroom resealing in Earley
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Typical jobs include sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, across sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Earley mixes older houses with estates built more recently, and bathrooms range from decades-old suites to brand-new ones. Either way, the sealant and grout are normally the first things to fail.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For anyone letting property in or around Earley, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Bathroom resealing around Earley
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Radstock Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Earley station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What happens if it’s left?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In Earley, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. A visit in Earley needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
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. Resealing early stops it.

Common problems we fix in Earley
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
In the older streets around Trinity Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
