Our bathroom resealing service in SO30
Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and failed sealant on the screen profile.
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, depending on the size of the job.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How we quote
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Full insurance on every job

Bathroom resealing across SO30: local notes
SO30 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Eastleigh, Hedge End and West End. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in SO30, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. Along the coast in SO30, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Hedge End: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shamblehurst Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St John the Evangelist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around SO30, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Why it fails
Silicone does not last for ever. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Quotes for bathroom resealing in SO30
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property

SO30 questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Hampshire.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Do you come to SO30?
Yes. We work in SO30, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
