Great Bromley Bathroom Resealing
Baths, showers and worktops in Great Bromley need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Great Bromley
Homes in Great Bromley have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. If you have new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Around Great Bromley, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Great Bromley
Is Great Bromley in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Bromley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Alresford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What happens if it’s left?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Bromley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Great Bromley homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Alresford station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around Church of St George, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like St George's Church of England Primary School? Then 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 affects the quote in Great Bromley
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Great Bromley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
