Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include

How we handle bath resealing in Southsea
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Common questions in Southsea
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Southsea?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
