About our bath resealing in Southsea
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps, across basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Southsea questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Why it’s worth resealing in Southsea
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Southsea
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

What else we do in Southsea
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Southsea
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When to call us in Southsea
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
