- Gaps between the worktop and the wall

- Leaking joints on a shower screen
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Parking in a town like Southsea is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Southsea
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback get wet every single day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. If you have two layers of silicone, both failing and water getting behind the bath panel, we can put it right, on kitchen worktops & upstands, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
In a town like Southsea, older streets sit alongside newer estates, and bathrooms range from decades-old suites to brand-new ones. Whatever their age, sealant and grout tend to go before anything else.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What affects the quote in Southsea
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send photos if you have them.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southsea
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Southsea
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Southsea?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover Southsea for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Southsea is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Southsea.
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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, and we’re fully insured.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Leave it or put it right?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If something else is wrong, we will tell you. In Southsea, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Bathroom resealing around Southsea
Southsea is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Southsea has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Fratton station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Managing a site like Craneswater Junior School? Then 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 sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Southsea
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Black spots spreading through the bead
Homes close to St Margaret of Scotland include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
