Bathroom Resealing across West Sussex

Our bathroom resealing service in West Sussex

The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & upstands and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between the worktop and the wall and water escaping at the shower enclosure.

When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
  2. Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
  3. We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
  4. Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
  5. The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

Around Crawley

Around Crawley, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, St Wilfrid's Catholic School and Tilgate Park and the streets around them. Also close by are The George Hotel (less than half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (within half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (less than half a mile south-east). Crawley has its own railway station: Crawley station. Nearby you’ll also find Crawley Hospital (0.5 miles north-west) and County Mall (within half a mile north-east). For a walk, there’s Tilgate Lake.

Where we work in West Sussex

Homes across West Sussex range from older properties to new builds, with plenty of rented property in places like Crawley, Horsham and Worthing. Bathroom resealing keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in West Sussex is planned around the forecast. In the coastal parts of West Sussex, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Crawley: For landlords with property near Crawley station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. Homes close to Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What we are called out for in West Sussex

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.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
  • Black spots spreading through the bead
  • A reseal done over the top of the old bead
  • Damp behind the bath or under the tray

Looking after it afterwards

How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
  • Dry the bead with a towel now and then
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
  • Wait for the cure time we give you

Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.

A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in West Sussex

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • The product the joint needs
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.

Can I do it myself?

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Leave it or put it right?

Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later.

Common questions in West Sussex

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.

How long will the resealing take?

Allow two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. We will confirm how long your job needs when we quote.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.

Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?

Yes. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

Which products do you use?

It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
