Bath resealing at your home in Caversham
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and black mould in the sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Caversham, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

When to call us in Caversham
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you cannot clean out
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Caversham

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Your questions about bath resealing in Caversham
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you cover the entire of Reading?
The whole UK, including all of Reading. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
