Signs you need bathroom resealing in North Boarhunt
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Managing a site like Newtown Soberton Infant School? Then 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.

Bathroom resealing in North Boarhunt
It is not 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 behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks into the floor or ceiling below and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Somewhere as small as North Boarhunt, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
North Boarhunt questions
I let a flat near Portchester station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do bathroom resealing in North Boarhunt?
Yes, North Boarhunt is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You’ll get the exact cure time before we leave.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as North Boarhunt, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Bathroom resealing in North Boarhunt: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Portchester station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
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. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
