Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Kingston, Portsmouth
Baths, showers and worktops in Kingston need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Kingston
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. Common call-outs are for a joint torn by a bath that flexes and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
Smaller places like Kingston still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
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.
Common questions in Kingston
I let a flat near Fratton station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Kingston within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
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.
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.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Surface by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Kingston
Kingston is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Miltoncross Academy are buildings too, and 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. Homes close to Church of St Cuthbert include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Fratton station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, including the tidy-up. A visit to Kingston is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
