Specialist bathroom resealing for Norcot: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
How it 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. In total, it generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Parking around Norcot is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Norcot, done properly
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We’re often asked to deal with lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and failed sealant on the screen profile, across sinks & splashbacks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
In a smaller place like Norcot, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Norcot and everywhere else we cover.

Bathroom resealing in Norcot: local notes
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Meadow Park Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Tilehurst Methodist Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Norcot is about 2 miles west of Reading, in Reading. Norcot gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Norcot is one of 34 towns and villages in Reading we cover for bathroom resealing.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Landlords and agents in Norcot can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Norcot
I let a flat near Tilehurst station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Norcot for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Norcot is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is white the only colour available?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Why deal with it now?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. In a smaller place like Norcot, 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Norcot
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
For landlords with property near Tilehurst station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
