Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Fratton, Portsmouth
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Fratton? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. A visit to Fratton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How we handle bathroom resealing in Fratton
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Common call-outs are for leaking joints on a shower screen and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Homes around Fratton range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Why act early in Fratton
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In a smaller place like Fratton, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

FAQs for Fratton
Do you take on hotel work around Fratton?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you cover smaller places like Fratton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Bathroom resealing in Fratton: local notes
Fratton is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Fratton has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Schools such as Penhale Infant School & Nursery are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Fratton station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What else we do in Fratton
What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line does not stand out.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Failed grout lines across the wall
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Shower trays & enclosures
When to call us in Fratton
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
