About bathroom resealing in Southampton
A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath panel and leaking joints on a shower screen, on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, 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.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
What you’ll pay
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Bathroom resealing across Southampton: local notes
Across Southampton, from Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
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 Southampton is planned around the forecast. Parts of Southampton are on or near the coast, where wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are hard on outside sealant. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.
Southampton: For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Mary's, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to St Denys station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
We quote each job on its own. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
Surface by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, and our work is on the visible joints only.
Common problems we fix in Southampton
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Southampton, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in Southampton
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What colours of sealant can you use?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We can help you pick when we quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
