Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Steephill, Isle of Wight
Our applicators work in Steephill on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Water getting behind the bath panel
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Steephill, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- 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.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Steephill
Across Steephill, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. Typical jobs include failed sealant on the screen profile and a bead that has pulled away from the tiles, on baths, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms.
For a small place like Steephill, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
Common questions in Steephill

How much does bathroom resealing cost in Steephill?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
What bathroom resealing looks like in Steephill
Steephill is close to 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. 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 St Francis Catholic and Church of England Primary Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Shanklin station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Common problems we fix in Steephill
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Alban-the-martyr, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
