Bathroom resealing in SO41: how it works
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. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and splits where the tray meets the wall, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any 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.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Bathrooms and kitchens across SO41
Across SO41, from Lymington, Ashley and Milford on Sea outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in SO41, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. In the coastal parts of SO41, 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.
Lymington: In the older streets around Church of St. Thomas the Apostle, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Lymington Town station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Why act early?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts.

Signs you need bathroom resealing
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Daily water, heat and cleaning products take their toll over the years, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest.
Basins & vanity units
Basin joints are short and close to eye level: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Landlords, agents and businesses in SO41
Landlords and agents in SO41 can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
Common questions in SO41
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in SO41?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
