Mastic and sealant across SO43

Bathroom resealing in SO43: how it works

A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We work on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about leaks into the floor or ceiling below and mouldy sealant that has gone black.

We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.

  1. First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.

Local landmarks in Lyndhurst

Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School, Church of Our Lady and St Edward and Fox And Hounds Public House and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Ashurst New Forest station, roughly 2.4 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Ashurst Hospital (2.6 miles north-east) and National Dairy Museum (3.4 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Copythorne Common.

Bathrooms and kitchens across SO43

Our bathroom resealing work across SO43 covers homes, rentals and businesses, from Lyndhurst, Emery Down and Minstead 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.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in SO43 is planned around the forecast.

Lyndhurst: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of Our Lady and St Edward, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Why act early?

You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is normally all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

What we are called out for in SO43

Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Water getting behind the bath panel
  • Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
  • Two layers of silicone, both failing
  • Water escaping at the shower enclosure

What affects the quote in SO43

You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The size of the job
  • Access and height
  • Working hours on commercial sites

Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Helping us quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:

  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • Where the property is
  • The rough size of the job
  • The type of property

To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Landlord and commercial work in SO43

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Common questions in SO43

Is it messy?

No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

What does bathroom resealing cost?

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.

Do you do kitchens as well as bathrooms?

Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.

Do you work in SO43?

Yes, we do. Our applicators work in SO43, and the service is the same as everywhere else.

Do the sealants smell?

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

Can new silicone go straight over the old?

No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
