Do you need bathroom resealing in Lake?
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
Letting a property close to Lake station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
How we handle bathroom resealing in Lake
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t 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 kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the bath or tray has moved and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
Smaller places like Lake still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, 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.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Lake
Lake is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Broadlea Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of The Good Shepherd, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Lake is about 1 mile south-west of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. Whether you are in the middle of Lake or further out, bathroom resealing is available for homes and businesses alike. Our the Isle of Wight coverage runs to 125 places, and Lake is one of them. Portsmouth is on our list too, around 12 miles away.
All of PO36 and PO37 is within our area for bathroom resealing, from the main roads to the quietest streets. That includes homes and businesses on Lea Road, New Road and Percy Road and the roads around them. You’ll find Lake on the A3055, so it’s easy for us to get to with everything needed for bathroom resealing. Neighbouring places we cover for bathroom resealing include Sandown (1 mile north-east), Alverstone (1 mile north-west), Queen's Bower (1 mile north-west), Shanklin (1 mile south) and Alverstone Garden Village (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cover Newport (7 miles north-west), Ryde (5 miles north), Cowes (10 miles north-west), Ventnor (4 miles south-west), East Cowes (9 miles north-west) and Oakfield (5 miles north). For island and remote addresses, a little more planning is needed, so let us know when you get in touch.
Near you in Lake
Typical jobs here are in homes near Sandown Bay Academy, The Old Comical pub and The Bay Church of England School and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Lake itself: Lake station. Nearby you’ll also find National Poo Museum (under half a mile east) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (1.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Brading Down and Alverstone Mead.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water can’t sit on it.
Questions from Lake
Is Lake within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lake station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
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.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Usually after around 24 hours. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.

What else we do in Lake
Why act early in Lake
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. In a smaller place like Lake, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Fully insured
See our cost guide or our reviews.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. In a smaller place like Lake, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
