Bath resealing in Ryeish Green, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about silicone smeared on tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Why it’s worth resealing in Ryeish Green
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What we are called out for in Ryeish Green
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
FAQs for Ryeish Green
Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you come to Ryeish Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ryeish Green and the rest of West Berkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
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.
