Bathroom resealing in Three Mile Cross, done properly
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the kitchen upstand and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and sinks & splashbacks.
Homes around Three Mile Cross are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Three Mile Cross questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reading Green Park station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Three Mile Cross?
Yes, Three Mile Cross is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
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.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Three Mile Cross needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. It’s resealed in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
What we are called out for in Three Mile Cross
The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
If you let a flat or house near Reading Green Park station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which colour the sealant will be
Why act early in Three Mile Cross
Tired sealant is not a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is generally all it takes. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. Around Three Mile Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why Three Mile Cross clients choose us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Three Mile Cross homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up 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 St Michael and All Angels, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
