Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Burghfield Common, West Berkshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Burghfield Common, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our bath resealing in Burghfield Common
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
FAQs for Burghfield Common
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Burghfield Common?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Burghfield Common and the rest of West Berkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
