Bathroom resealing in GU12: how it works

With over 20 years in the trade, we reseal baths, showers and kitchens in homes across GU12. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and the work comes with a 12-month guarantee. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are water escaping at the shower enclosure and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Bathroom resealing across GU12: local notes

Our bathroom resealing work across GU12 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Aldershot, Ash and Ash Vale to the quieter places in between. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in GU12 is planned around the forecast.

Ash: Rented homes near Ash station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Schools such as Walsh CofE Junior School are buildings too, and 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.

DIY versus a professional finish

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Common problems we fix in GU12

Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.

The problems people normally mention when they call include:

  • Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
  • Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
  • A reseal done over the top of the old bead
  • Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop

How we quote for bathroom resealing

We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:

  • The product the joint needs
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Whether the work is at height

What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What to tell us for a quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

  • How we’d reach the joints
  • The rough size of the job
  • Where the property is
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Landlords, agents and businesses in GU12

If you manage several properties in or around GU12, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

Why act early?

Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts.

What your quote should include

  • What insurance they hold
  • Which colour the sealant will be
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • How long the guarantee is

GU12 questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?

It takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.

Does the resealing come with a guarantee?

Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.

Do you work in GU12?

Yes. We work in GU12. For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What sealant do you use?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?

The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or follow the cure time we give you.
