Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Ashton, Hampshire
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Ashton? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
How we handle bathroom resealing in Ashton
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you have smears of silicone across the tiles and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can put it right.
For a small place like Ashton, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something doesn’t look right, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Ashton?
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
If you look after a building such as Bishops Waltham Infant School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Bathroom resealing around Ashton
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.
Letting a property close to Botley station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere like Ashton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky

FAQs for Ashton
Is Ashton within the area you cover?
Yes, Ashton is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Botley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What colours of sealant can you use?
Most people choose white or clear, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then a colour-matched bead is laid.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
How the job changes by surface
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
