Bathroom resealing in SP9: how it works

Sealant that is mouldy, cracked or peeling shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. A photo of the joints helps when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email, and we will give you a clear price before any work starts. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water escaping at the shower enclosure and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom in most cases.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
  2. We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
  3. Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
  5. We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Landmarks near Tidworth

Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The Wellington Academy, Clarendon Infants' School and Church of the Holy Trinity. A little further out are Ludgershall Castle (2.2 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Quarley Hill.

Where we work in SP9

Homes across SP9 range from older properties to new builds, and in places like Tidworth and Shipton Bellinger there’s plenty of rented property too. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in SP9 is planned around the forecast.

Tidworth: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Wellington Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Surface by surface

Wet rooms

Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.

Basins & vanity units

A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.

What happens if it’s left?

Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Common problems we fix in SP9

No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
  • Leaking joints on a shower screen
  • A joint torn by a bath that flexes
  • Leaks into the floor or ceiling below

Common questions in SP9

What do you put in the joint?

It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

What information do you need?

A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.

Do you guarantee your resealing?

Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.

Does someone need to be in?

It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.

Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?

Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured.
