How we quote for bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote

We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are splits where the tray meets the wall and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Lower Caversham
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Lower Caversham. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and 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.
Letting a property close to Reading station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. In a smaller place like Lower Caversham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

Lower Caversham questions
Do you take on hotel work around Lower Caversham?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will you come out to Lower Caversham?
Yes, Lower Caversham is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Lower Caversham, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Lower Caversham?
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
Schools such as St Anne's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- The length of the guarantee
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Baths
Acrylic baths give a little under load, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. A visit to Lower Caversham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
