Bathroom resealing in Branstone
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you’re dealing with a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and leaking joints on a shower screen, we can help, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.
Around Branstone, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Branstone: your questions answered
Is Branstone within the area you cover?
Yes. Branstone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Branstone for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Branstone is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
What colours of sealant can you use?
You are not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We can help you pick when we quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Why act early in Branstone
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. In a small place like Branstone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
If you manage several properties in or around Branstone, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Branstone
Branstone is within about 3 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, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Shanklin station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Homes close to All Saints' Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Branstone is about 5 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO36, we cover bathroom resealing for homes and businesses. Branstone is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we work for bathroom resealing. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, about 12 miles away.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Branstone?
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Schools such as Newchurch Primary School are buildings too, and 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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
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. Resealing early stops it.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere as small as Branstone, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- 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.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
