About bathroom resealing in SO42
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We work on sinks & splashbacks, baths and kitchen worktops & upstands, and the jobs we see most are leaks into the floor or ceiling below and leaking joints on a shower screen.
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.

Local landmarks in Brockenhurst
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Church of St Saviour, Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School and Morant Arms, among other places. There’s a railway station in Brockenhurst itself: Brockenhurst station. Other landmarks nearby include Lymington New Forest Hospital (3.8 miles south).
Bathrooms and kitchens across SO42
Our bathroom resealing work across SO42 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Brockenhurst, East Boldre and Beaulieu to the quieter places in between. Wherever the job is, all the old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in SO42, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. In the coastal parts of SO42, 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.
Brockenhurst: If you look after a building such as Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Brockenhurst station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, so the next person has twice as much to remove.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long to leave it before use
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has
What affects the quote in SO42
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
How the job changes by surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: so we keep the line tidy and even, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
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.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Signs you need bathroom resealing
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Look out for any of the following:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Questions from SO42
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
