Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Upper Chute, Hampshire
Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Upper Chute. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a small place like Upper Chute, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- 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’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Upper Chute
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you have a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Upper Chute, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Upper Chute and across Hampshire.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
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.
Upper Chute questions
Is there a guarantee on bathroom resealing in Upper Chute?
All our work, in Upper Chute and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Upper Chute within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Hampshire.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Upper Chute?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Chute
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Landlords and letting agents in Upper Chute can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Upper Chute
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.
Around Upper Chute, as everywhere, bathroom resealing is only as good as the preparation behind it. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
