About bathroom resealing in RG28
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We are often asked to deal with water escaping at the shower enclosure and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, including the tidy-up.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.

Bathrooms and kitchens across RG28
RG28 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Whitchurch, Freefolk and Laverstoke. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across RG28 is planned around the weather.
Whitchurch: Letting a property close to Whitchurch (Hampshire) station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. If you live in an older home near Church of All Hallows, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
- Are they insured?
DIY versus a professional finish
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in RG28
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
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.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
Common problems we fix in RG28
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water getting behind the bath panel
