Hundred Acres Bathroom Resealing
Baths, showers and worktops in Hundred Acres need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Hundred Acres
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, 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. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
Around Hundred Acres, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Hundred Acres
I let a flat near Fareham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Hundred Acres?
Yes. Hundred Acres is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Hundred Acres, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. In a small place like Hundred Acres, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Hundred Acres?
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone usually will not clean off.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Letting a property close to Fareham station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
If you manage several properties in or around Hundred Acres, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
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 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. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
