Bath resealing at your home in West Reading
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do you cover West Reading?

Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
