How we handle bathroom resealing in Portswood
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. If you have water escaping at the shower enclosure and smears of silicone across the tiles, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands alike.
Even in a smaller place like Portswood, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Portswood
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much there is to do

What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We do not publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove. In an older home around Portswood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and is not stretched when it’s used.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, including the tidy-up. Parking around Portswood is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Portswood: local notes
Portswood is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as St Denys Primary School are buildings too, and 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 St Denys station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. For an older house near a landmark such as Highfield Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from Portswood
Do you work in hotels near Portswood?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is Portswood within the area you cover?
Yes, Portswood is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
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.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Portswood?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
