About bathroom resealing in PO6
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt.
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and the area is left clean.
- 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.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How we quote
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Local landmarks in Portsmouth
We work in homes and buildings around Manor Infant School, Alexandra Park and St Wilfrid. Nearby too are The Druids Arms (less than half a mile north-east), The Portsmouth Academy (within half a mile south-east) and St Edmund's Catholic School (0.7 miles south-west). The nearest railway station is Fratton station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Royal Portsmouth Hospital (0.7 miles south-west) and Charles Dickens Birthplace Museum (within half a mile west). Not far away are Milton Locks and Portsdown Hill.
Where we work in PO6
From Purbrook, Portchester and Hilsea to its smaller places, homes across PO6 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in PO6, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. PO6 includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Portsmouth: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Manor Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to St Wilfrid include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we quote for bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
PO6: your questions answered
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
