The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in Tilehurst Within, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Tilehurst Within homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Tilehurst station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around Church of St Michael, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Common problems we fix in Tilehurst Within
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
Managing a site like Moorlands Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What your quote should include

- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether you can choose the colour
What happens if it’s left?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. In an older home around Tilehurst Within, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
