- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
About our bathroom resealing in Portmore
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Common call-outs are for water escaping at the shower enclosure and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks.
Around Portmore, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Portmore
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lymington Town station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Portmore?
Yes, Portmore is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower for a typical job. In a small place like Portmore, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Bathroom resealing in Portmore: local notes
Portmore is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Portmore. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Schools such as Southlands School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Saint Nicholas Chapel, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Lymington Town station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What affects the quote in Portmore
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Older cottages and farmhouses around Portmore can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
