Bath resealing in Wokingham, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wokingham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wokingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Wokingham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Why it’s worth resealing in Wokingham
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
For a price in Wokingham, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common questions in Wokingham
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you cover Wokingham?
We do. Technicians travel to Wokingham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
