About bathroom resealing in GU10

Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. Typical jobs include water escaping at the shower enclosure and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom.

  1. We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
  2. We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
  3. Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
  4. A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
  5. Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Bathrooms and kitchens across GU10

From Fleet, Farnham and Ash to its smaller places, homes across GU10 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across GU10 is planned around the weather.

Lower Bourne: If you live in an older home near St Martin by the Green, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Farnham College are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through
  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint

Surface by surface

Basins & vanity units

Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.

Baths

The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.

What we’re called out for in GU10

With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Leaking joints on a shower screen
  • Smears of silicone across the tiles
  • A reseal done over the top of the old bead
  • Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off

What happens if it’s left?

A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it will not bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows.

  • Whether VAT is included

FAQs for GU10

Do you do commercial work?

Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

Can landlords and businesses book you?

Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.

What should I tell you?

Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?

Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.

Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?

Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.

Does the resealing come with a guarantee?

Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
