Southford Bathroom Resealing
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Southford, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally will not remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Bathroom resealing in Southford
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the bath or tray has moved and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Southford, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

What else we do in Southford
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
When to call us in Southford
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Letting a property close to Shanklin station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Southford
Southford is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St. Mary and St. Radegund, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Southford?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you do commercial work?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southford
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why act early in Southford
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Southford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- More than 20 years in sealant work

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere as small as Southford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
