About bathroom resealing in SO14
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on wet rooms, baths and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are damp behind the bath or under the tray and failed sealant on the screen profile.
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Pricing in SO14

Bathroom resealing across SO14: local notes
From Itchen, Portswood and Woolston to its smaller places, homes across SO14 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in SO14, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. SO14 includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Inner Avenue: Homes close to Saint Mary's include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Bevois Town Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who turns up on the day
- How long to leave it before use
Signs you need bathroom resealing
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Quotes for bathroom resealing in SO14
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

- The number of rooms or windows

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
FAQs for SO14
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
