What affects the quote in Wokingham
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Bathroom resealing in Wokingham, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you’re dealing with black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and gaps between the worktop and the wall, we can help.
Wokingham is big enough to have housing from every era, from period houses to modern flats and estates. Whatever the age of the home, sealant and grout in bathrooms and kitchens wear out in the end.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Wokingham.
Why act early in Wokingham
Sorting it now is quick: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. In a large rental market like Wokingham, tired sealant leads to tenant complaints about mould, damp and leaks. It’s simpler to sort between tenants than in the middle of a let.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

- Over 20 years’ experience

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Advice
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands

- Wet rooms
- Baths

What bathroom resealing looks like in Wokingham
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Wokingham. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Wokingham station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Schools such as Walter Infant School are buildings too, and 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. In the older streets around Church of St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
