Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Medstead
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. 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 wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
Even in a smaller place like Medstead, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. 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, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why deal with it now?
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. In a smaller place like Medstead, 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.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
For anyone letting property in or around Medstead, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
What we are called out for in Medstead
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Look out for these signs:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
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.

Medstead questions
Will you come out to Medstead?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Alton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. All the old sealant comes out first.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Medstead
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Medstead Church of England Primary School, 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. Letting a property close to Alton station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen in most cases. A visit to Medstead is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Can I do it myself?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
Check the sealant now and then. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally won’t remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
