Bathroom resealing in Apuldram
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the kitchen upstand and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, across basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Somewhere as small as Apuldram, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Bathroom resealing around Apuldram
Apuldram is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Chichester station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

How much does bathroom resealing cost in Apuldram?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Apuldram?
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners do not help.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fishbourne CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Apuldram, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
