Mastic and sealant across PO16

Bathroom resealing in PO16: how it works

A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. Typical jobs include leaks into the floor or ceiling below and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, across kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and sinks & splashbacks.

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

  1. We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
  3. We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
  4. A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
  5. We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Local landmarks in Fareham

In Fareham, that means homes and buildings near Fareham Academy, Wykeham House School and The Lord Arthur Lee pub. Also close by are St John The Evangelist (less than half a mile south-east) and St Jude's Catholic Primary School (less than half a mile south-west). There’s a railway station in Fareham itself: Fareham station. Nearby you will also find Carron Row Farm Museum (1.7 miles west) and Knowle Hospital (2 miles north). Not far away are Portsdown Hill and West of the River Alver.

Where we work in PO16

PO16 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Fareham, Portchester and Wallington. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across PO16 is planned around the weather. PO16 includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.

Fareham: If you live in an older home near St John The Evangelist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Signs you need bathroom resealing

No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Water escaping at the shower enclosure
  • A reseal done over the top of the old bead
  • Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
  • A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal

Landlords, agents and businesses in PO16

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

If you manage several properties in or around PO16, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.

Should I try it myself first?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

When it is not the sealant

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through
  • Failed grout lines across the wall

Quotes for bathroom resealing in PO16

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • The number and length of the joints
  • Access and height
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Questions from PO16

Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?

Yes, we replace the mouldy bead. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Airing the room well helps stop it returning.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Hampshire.

Will it make a mess?

Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Is white the only colour available?

Most people choose white or clear, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.

Are you an approved applicator?
