Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Sprat's Down
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about mouldy sealant that has gone black and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Homes around Sprat's Down are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Sprat's Down needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Common problems we fix in Sprat's Down
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that don’t dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
Managing a site like Fawley Infant School? Then 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.

Questions from Sprat's Down
I let a flat near Hamble station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Sprat's Down?
Yes. Sprat's Down is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
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.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering helps the joint dry.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Why act early in Sprat's Down
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sprat's Down can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
