How we handle bathroom resealing in Sonning
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. Common call-outs are for gaps where the bath or tray has moved and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, across sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Around Sonning, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What else we do in Sonning
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Sonning
Do you take on hotel work around Sonning?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Twyford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is white the only colour available?
Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
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.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
Allow two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. You will know how long to expect before work begins.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Sonning
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Sonning. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Twyford station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

When to call us in Sonning
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sonning Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What to look for in a quote

- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Sonning, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
