Nettlecombe questions
Is Nettlecombe in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Nettlecombe is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Nettlecombe?
Yes, Nettlecombe is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Is white the only colour available?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
How long will the resealing take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
About our bathroom resealing in Nettlecombe
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
For a small place like Nettlecombe, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Nettlecombe needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
When to call us in Nettlecombe
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally won’t clean off.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
For landlords with property near Shanklin station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Nettlecombe homes and their sealant
Nettlecombe 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Nettlecombe is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whether you are in the middle of Nettlecombe or further out, we cover bathroom resealing for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Nettlecombe is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we work. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, about 16 miles away.

Local landmarks in Nettlecombe
Around Nettlecombe, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The White Horse Inn. Nettlecombe’s nearest station is Shanklin station, roughly 4.1 miles north-east of the centre.

Why deal with it now?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nettlecombe can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
