Bathroom resealing in Hounsdown

Bathroom resealing in Hounsdown

Sealant that’s mouldy, cracked or peeling is worth sorting before it lets water through. Just call 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. We are often asked to deal with leaks into the floor or ceiling below and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away, across wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units.

Around Hounsdown, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How the job changes by surface

Shower trays & enclosures

A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.

Baths

Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.

Can I do it myself?

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

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.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom for a typical job. Parking around Hounsdown is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Which products do you use?

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 we cannot put right

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:

  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
  • Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we seal

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hounsdown

Hounsdown is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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 live in an older home near Colbury Christ Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Totton station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. If you look after a building such as Hounsdown School, 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 happens if it’s left?

Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair. In a smaller place like Hounsdown, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

  • Any mould that needs treating
