Bathroom resealing in Eastleigh
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you’re dealing with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal, we can help, whatever the surface.
Plenty of homes in a town like Eastleigh have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Eastleigh and everywhere else we cover.
Eastleigh homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 Eastleigh station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Resurrection, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Eastleigh?
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
If you look after a building such as Norwood Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:

- Failed grout lines across the wall

How we quote for bathroom resealing
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. A visit in Eastleigh needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why deal with it now?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Black mould and gaps in sealant don’t fix themselves, and in a busy household in Eastleigh they spread with every shower and every downpour. Now is the easy time to put it right.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- One-year guarantee on every job
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is generally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
