Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Bassett, Southampton
Specialist bathroom resealing for Bassett: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Call for a quick quote.
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, finished in a colour that suits the basin.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Bathroom resealing in Bassett
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We are often asked to deal with mouldy sealant that has gone black and water getting behind the bath panel, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and baths.
Smaller places like Bassett still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Bassett homes and their sealant
Bassett is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Cantell School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Swaythling station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Bassett is about 2 miles north-west of Southampton, in Southampton. Bassett gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Bassett is one of 40 places in Southampton where we work.

When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Common problems we fix in Bassett
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants aren’t designed for a joint that is wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
Homes close to St Michael and All Angels Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if the job turns out different
Landlord and commercial work in Bassett
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in Bassett, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
