Bathroom resealing in GU34: how it works
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are mouldy sealant that has gone black and a joint torn by a bath that flexes.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Local landmarks in Alton
In Alton, that means homes and buildings near Church of St Lawrence, Saint Lawrence Church of England Primary School and Amery Hill School. Other local landmarks include Treloar School (1.2 miles north-east) and The 'Baker's Arms' Public House (within half a mile south-east). Alton has its own railway station: Alton station. A little further out are Allen Gallery (less than half a mile east) and Alton Community Hospital (0.9 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Holybourne Hill.
Where we work in GU34
In GU34, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, in Alton, Four Marks and Medstead and well beyond. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in GU34, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Alton: If you look after a building such as Saint Lawrence Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Alton station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Surface by surface
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the quote in GU34
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Leave it or put it right?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they’re fully insured
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
GU34 questions
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
