How we handle bathroom resealing in Colbury

The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the bath or tray has moved and water escaping at the shower enclosure.

In a village or hamlet like Colbury, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Colbury and everywhere else we cover.

What sealant work can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
  • A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Colbury homes and their sealant

Colbury is close to 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.

Homes close to Colbury Christ Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Ashurst New Forest station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Colbury is about 1 mile south of Totton, in Hampshire. Jobs in Colbury get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Colbury is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for bathroom resealing.

Why deal with it now?

Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect, and it’s harder to put right later. In a small place like Colbury, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What we are called out for in Colbury

The wrong product fails fast. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Smears of silicone across the tiles
  • Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
  • Black spots spreading through the bead
  • Two layers of silicone, both failing

If you look after a building such as Foxhills Infant School, 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.

How it works

You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen in most cases. Somewhere as small as Colbury, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice

FAQs for Colbury

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ashurst New Forest station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Do you cover smaller places like Colbury?

Yes, Colbury is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Is white the only colour available?

We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.

Should I try DIY first?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.

Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?

Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.

How long will the resealing take?

Allow half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. You’ll know how long to expect before work begins.

Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?

No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.

Can I do it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

What the job involves on each surface

Basins & vanity units

A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.

Shower trays & enclosures

Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
