About bathroom resealing in East Sussex

Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints 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. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and people most often call us about failed sealant on the screen profile and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.

We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
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.

What affects the price in East Sussex

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Bathroom resealing across East Sussex: local notes

East Sussex has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea there’s plenty of rented property too. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.

From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building. East Sussex includes coastal places, where outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland. Joints on seaward walls tend to fail first.

Eastbourne: If you look after a building such as Stafford Junior School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Hampden Park station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.

Aftercare tips

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

Give the silicone its full cure time
Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant

Clean the silicone with care: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

Different surfaces, different methods

Sinks & splashbacks

The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.

Baths

Acrylic baths give a little under load, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.

What we are called out for in East Sussex

Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.

The most common problems we see are:

Damp behind the bath or under the tray
Failed sealant on the screen profile
Gaps between the worktop and the wall
New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting

Common questions in East Sussex

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Is white the only colour available?

We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.

Is it worth trying it myself?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for 12 months. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?

No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
