How bath resealing works in Reading
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant.
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we’re called out for in Reading
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Reading questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Reading. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
