Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Abbotswood, Hampshire
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for householders, landlords and businesses in Abbotswood. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black

How we handle bathroom resealing in Abbotswood
Homes in Abbotswood have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath panel and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
Around Abbotswood, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Abbotswood
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Rented homes near Romsey station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

Leave it or put it right?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. In a small place like Abbotswood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Abbotswood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Before we arrive

- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Bathrooms and kitchens in Abbotswood
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Abbotswood. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Cupernham Infant School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near St Swithun's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
