Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Skinner's Hill
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include smears of silicone across the tiles and gaps where the bath or tray has moved, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and sinks & splashbacks.
Being in a small place like Skinner's Hill makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Skinner's Hill and everywhere else we cover.

Why deal with it now?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Around Skinner's Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Skinner's Hill homes and their sealant
Skinner's Hill 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Newchurch Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Common problems we fix in Skinner's Hill
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
If you let a flat or house near Sandown station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who turns up on the day
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What the cure time is
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Skinner's Hill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
