Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Atherington
Homes in Atherington have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We are often asked to deal with cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and water getting behind the bath panel, across kitchen worktops & upstands, basins & vanity units and baths.
For a small place like Atherington, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Bathroom resealing in Atherington: local notes
Atherington is within about 1 mile of 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as St Mary's CofE Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For landlords with property near Littlehampton station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Homes close to Bailiffscourt Chapel include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something doesn’t look right, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
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.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a village or hamlet like Atherington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Atherington
Do you work in hotels near Atherington?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Littlehampton station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How long will the resealing take?
That depends on the number of joints and the state of the old sealant. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. We reseal worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks, in a kitchen-suitable sealant, matched to the worktop where it’s on show.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Atherington
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
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. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. Around Atherington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
On a basin, neatness shows: the bead is right in front of you, so it’s tooled cleanly and evenly, in white, clear or a colour to suit.
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both take water every day, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
