Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Abshot
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. Common call-outs are for gaps where the bath or tray has moved and two layers of silicone, both failing, across shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.
Being in a small place like Abshot makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
When to call us in Abshot
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Managing a site like Locks Heath Infant School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Around Abshot, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Abshot needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work

Do you take out the old sealant first?

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Abshot homes and their sealant
Abshot is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Swanwick station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
