Our bathroom resealing service in SO53
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. We work on sinks & splashbacks, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about damp behind the bath or under the tray and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Near you in Chandler's Ford
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Thornden School, St Boniface and Chandler's Ford Infant School. Chandler's Ford has its own railway station: Chandlers Ford station. Nearby you will also find Princess Anne Hospital (4 miles south-west) and Eastleigh Museum (1.9 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Flexford Nature Reserve.
Bathrooms and kitchens across SO53
In SO53, bathroom resealing takes in flats, houses, rentals and businesses, from Chandler's Ford, Allbrook and Hiltingbury 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.
Hard water across most of the South East leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Whatever the job in SO53, surfaces are cleaned back properly before new sealant goes in.
Chandler's Ford: If you look after a building such as Chandler's Ford Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around St Boniface, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If something else is wrong, we will tell you.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
Common problems we fix in SO53
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Landlords, agents and businesses in SO53
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
Where a splashback meets the worktop, there’s a joint that catches every splash. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Questions from SO53
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White and clear are the most common choices, and other colours are available to suit tiles, trays and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
