Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Caversham Heights, Reading
We travel to Caversham Heights for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How we handle bath resealing in Caversham Heights

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RG4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Caversham Heights. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
