Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Ibthorpe, Hampshire
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for householders, landlords and businesses in Ibthorpe. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ibthorpe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Old sealant always removed completely

Bathroom resealing in Ibthorpe, done properly
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. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Around Ibthorpe, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ibthorpe as everywhere else we work.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Ibthorpe, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, 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.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
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.
Questions from Ibthorpe
Is Ibthorpe within the area you cover?
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.
Is Ibthorpe in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Ibthorpe is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Is white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, a 12-month guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Bathroom resealing around Ibthorpe
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
