Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rew Street
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rew Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
What we are called out for in Rew Street
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
Homes close to All Saints' Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
- What product goes in the joint
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
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.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as Rew Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Bathroom resealing around Rew Street
Rew Street 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Northwood Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Rew Street is about 1 mile south-west of Cowes, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO31, we cover bathroom resealing for homes and businesses. 125 places in the Isle of Wight are on our list, from the larger towns to small villages. We also work in Southampton, around 12 miles away.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Rew Street: your questions answered
Is Rew Street in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Rew Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Rew Street?
Yes. Rew Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
