Bathroom Resealing in Gaskins
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Gaskins, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Gaskins, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Gaskins
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about water getting behind the kitchen upstand and gaps where the bath or tray has moved.
Around Gaskins, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What affects the quote in Gaskins
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
If you are in Gaskins and need bathroom resealing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Gaskins homes and their sealant
Gaskins is within about 2 miles of 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near St Catherine-by-the-Green, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Helens 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.

Gaskins: your questions answered
Is Gaskins in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Gaskins is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brading station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Gaskins?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
When to call us in Gaskins
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
If you let a flat or house near Brading station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
