Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Bath resealing at your home in Hamstead Marshall
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Hamstead Marshall questions
Do you come to Hamstead Marshall?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hamstead Marshall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms

Common reasons people in Hamstead Marshall contact us are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
