Bathroom resealing in PO14: how it works

Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Common call-outs are for cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks.

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, and the area is left clean.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

What’s near Stubbington

Around Stubbington, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Osborne View pub, Stubbington House School and Crofton Anne Dale Junior School and the streets around them. You will also find Holy Rood Church (within half a mile east) and Crofton School (0.6 miles east). The closest station to Stubbington is Fareham station, roughly 2.3 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Gosport War Memorial Hospital (3.7 miles south-east) and Carron Row Farm Museum (2.5 miles north). Green spaces nearby include West of the River Alver.

Where we work in PO14

PO14 has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Fareham, Stubbington and Locks Heath there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.

Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in PO14, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. Parts of PO14 are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.

Stubbington: In the older streets around Holy Rood Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Crofton Anne Dale Junior School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish

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.

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods

Kitchen worktops & upstands

Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.

Shower trays & enclosures

Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.

When it isn’t the sealant

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Failed grout lines across the wall
  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
  • A leaking waste, trap or valve

Landlords, agents and businesses in PO14

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

How to look after the new joints

No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:

  • Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
  • Give the silicone its full cure time
  • Dry the bead with a towel now and then
  • Move toiletries away from the joint

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.

Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.

PO14 questions

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.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

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

One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?

Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually cannot be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

Is it worth trying it myself?

That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
