Bathroom resealing in SO32: how it works
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most often call us about a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Local landmarks in Bishop's Waltham
In Bishop's Waltham, that means homes and buildings near The Crown Hotel, Bishop's Waltham Junior School and Swanmore College of Technology and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Botley station, roughly 3.3 miles south-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Bishop's Waltham Museum (under half a mile south-west) and Moorgreen Hospital (5.1 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Bishops Waltham Branch LNR and Beacon Hill.
Bathrooms and kitchens across SO32
Our bathroom resealing work across SO32 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Winchester, Bishop's Waltham and Boorley Green to the quieter places in between. The method is the same everywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in SO32, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in.
Bishop's Waltham: Letting a property close to Botley station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Move toiletries away from the joint
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
- Who turns up on the day
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
SO32 questions
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in SO32?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
What colours of sealant can you use?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
