How we handle bathroom resealing in Houghton
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. If you have water getting behind the kitchen upstand and black spots spreading through the bead, we can put it right.
Around Houghton, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property

We quote each job on its own. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
Bathroom resealing in Houghton: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Test Valley School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Mottisfont & Dunbridge station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Landlord and commercial work in Houghton
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Houghton and across Hampshire. Several sites can go on one quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Houghton
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Houghton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Houghton
Do you cover Houghton for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Houghton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.

Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long will the resealing take?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Houghton and the rest of Hampshire.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower for a typical job. In a small place like Houghton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
