Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Soake, Hampshire
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Soake? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a village or hamlet like Soake, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
How we handle bathroom resealing in Soake
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about leaking joints on a shower screen and splits where the tray meets the wall.
Being in a small place like Soake makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Soake
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
For anyone letting property in or around Soake, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Leave it or put it right?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Around Soake, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Soake questions
I let a flat near Bedhampton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Soake?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.

If you look after a building such as Denmead Junior School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Soake
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally won’t clean off.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Rented homes near Bedhampton station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
