Bathroom resealing for Lyde Green homes and businesses

How we handle bathroom resealing in Lyde Green

Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and the jobs we see most are leaking joints on a shower screen and black spots spreading through the bead.

For a small place like Lyde Green, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How we quote for bathroom resealing

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access and height
  • The number and length of the joints
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • Which sealant suits the joint

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

What to tell us for a quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • The rough size of the job
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

For landlords and businesses

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Landlords and letting agents in Lyde Green can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:

  • Move toiletries away from the joint
  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
  • Wait for the cure time we give you
  • Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then

Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.

Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

Surface by surface

Basins & vanity units

The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.

Shower trays & enclosures

There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

The process

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. 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 from start to finish. Somewhere like Lyde Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Ask for a quote

Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

  • A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
  • Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try it myself first?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Lyde Green

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

For landlords with property near Hook station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around Rotherwick Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Whitewater Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
