Downton Bathroom Resealing
Baths, showers and worktops in Downton need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere like Downton 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.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Downton
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. Typical jobs include water getting behind the kitchen upstand and splits where the tray meets the wall, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks.
Around Downton, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Downton?
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. 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:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
If you look after a building such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary 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.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with 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.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Bathroom resealing around Downton
Downton is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near New Milton station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we can’t put right

Downton: your questions answered
Can you do bathroom resealing in Downton?
Yes, Downton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near New Milton station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Downton?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
