How we handle bathroom resealing in Arlington
Across Arlington, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are damp behind the bath or under the tray and leaking joints on a shower screen.
In a village or hamlet like Arlington, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Somewhere like Arlington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we’re working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why it’s worth doing now in Arlington
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you do not see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Arlington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Arlington
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. Wet areas call for a sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
For landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

What else we do in Arlington
Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest and is not stretched when it’s used.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
Arlington homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Pancras, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
