Our bathroom resealing service in SO40
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint is not pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and the jobs we see most are a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and water escaping at the shower enclosure.
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen in most cases.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Where we work in SO40
SO40 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Totton, Marchwood and Eling. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and 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 SO40 is planned around the weather. In the coastal parts of SO40, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Totton: If you look after a building such as Abbotswood Junior School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Totton station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Why act early?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last.

When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
Your questions about bathroom resealing in SO40
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
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.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
Which products 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 will explain our choice.
