Our bathroom resealing service in GU30
We fill the bath before sealing it. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We are often asked to deal with black spots spreading through the bead and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
What you’ll pay
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Fully insured
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Near you in Liphook
Around Liphook, our work takes us to homes and buildings near St Mary's Church Centre, The Green Dragon Public House and Bohunt School and the streets around them. Liphook’s nearest station is Liphook station, roughly 0.5 miles south of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Chase Community Hospital (3.3 miles north-west). The countryside around Liphook includes Lynchmere Commons and Wheeler's Down.
Where we work in GU30
Homes across GU30 range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Liphook, Milland and Weavers Down there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in GU30, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.
Liphook: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bohunt School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What happens if it’s left?
Tired sealant isn’t a reason to replace a bath or shower. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us.

How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally will not clean off.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
Common questions in GU30
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
