Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Drayton, Portsmouth
We cover Drayton for bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Black spots spreading through the bead
Bathroom resealing in Drayton, done properly
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water escaping at the shower enclosure and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
In and around Drayton, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Drayton and across Portsmouth.

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.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
What else we do in Drayton
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
When to call us in Drayton
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Rented homes near Cosham station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Bathroom resealing around Drayton
Drayton is within about 1 mile 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, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Drayton Methodist Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Springfield School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Drayton?

How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
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.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
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.
Are you fully insured?

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. A visit to Drayton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.
