Bathroom resealing in Durley Street, done properly
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Typical jobs include mouldy sealant that has gone black and failed sealant on the screen profile, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
Somewhere as small as Durley Street, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Common questions in Durley Street
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hedge End station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Durley Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A sound joint along the back edge stops that.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Durley Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Common problems we fix in Durley Street
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that isn’t fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
If you let a flat or house near Hedge End station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Durley Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Bathroom resealing in Durley Street: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Wyvern Technology College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
