The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers from start to finish. Where a business in Winchester needs to stay open, out-of-hours working can be arranged, while home visits are arranged within our normal working hours, Monday to Saturday.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
About our bathroom resealing in Winchester
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have splits where the tray meets the wall and black spots spreading through the bead, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
A large town like Winchester has plenty of rented homes, and rented bathrooms and kitchens see heavy use. Fresh sealant and clean grout help a property present well between tenants and stop water getting where it shouldn’t.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Bathroom resealing around Winchester
Winchester 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. 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 St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as St Bede Church of England Primary 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.

When to call us in Winchester
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
For landlords with property near Winchester station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A sound joint along the back edge stops that.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Winchester
Do you cover Winchester for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Winchester is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you take on hotel work around Winchester?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Do not stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Winchester
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
