Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Bathroom resealing in Alverstone Garden Village, done properly
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. If you have cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Alverstone Garden Village are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Alverstone Garden Village
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Alverstone Garden Village can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, 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.
Why book with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- You choose the colour before work begins

Alverstone Garden Village homes and their sealant
Alverstone Garden Village is within about 2 miles 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Newchurch Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Sandown station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Is Alverstone Garden Village within the area you cover?
Yes. Alverstone Garden Village is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
