Bathroom Resealing in Itchen Stoke
Baths, showers and worktops in Itchen Stoke need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
About our bathroom resealing in Itchen Stoke
Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. A photo of the joints helps when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. Common call-outs are for gaps where the bath or tray has moved and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Homes around Itchen Stoke are mostly 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Questions from Itchen Stoke
Is Itchen Stoke in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Itchen Stoke is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is bathroom resealing in Itchen Stoke guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
Allow two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Around 24 hours is typical, and we confirm the time for the product used. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone does not bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Itchen Stoke
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Perins School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What affects the quote in Itchen Stoke
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
Common problems we fix in Itchen Stoke
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Black spots spreading through the bead
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which colour the sealant will be
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a village or hamlet like Itchen Stoke, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, 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.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
