Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Hilsea, Portsmouth
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Hilsea? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
About our bathroom resealing in Hilsea
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We’re often asked to deal with sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and smears of silicone across the tiles, on kitchen worktops & upstands, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
In and around Hilsea, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a job in Hilsea, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth doing now in Hilsea
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Around Hilsea, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We agree the colour with you first
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
When to call us in Hilsea
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Schools such as Gatcombe Park Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
What to look for in a quote
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the cure time is
How we quote for bathroom resealing
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Bathroom resealing in Hilsea: local notes
Hilsea is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Hilsea station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. In the older streets around St Francis' Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
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.
