Signs you need bathroom resealing in Bachelor's Bump

Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Mouldy sealant that has gone black
  • Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
  • A joint torn by a bath that flexes
  • Damp behind the bath or under the tray

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hastings Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Choosing a sealant specialist

How it works

When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Bachelor's Bump, 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.

  1. First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
  2. We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
  4. New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Should I try it myself first?

Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Wipe the sealant dry after showering
  • Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
  • Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
  • Keep the fan on for a while after bathing

Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Worktop joints fail quietly. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

How we quote for bathroom resealing

Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:

  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Whether the work is at height
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Any mould that needs treating

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What to tell us for a quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email

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.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
  • Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
  • Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Sinks & splashbacks

How the job changes by surface

Wet rooms

In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.

Shower trays & enclosures

There are usually two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Bachelor's Bump

Bachelor's Bump is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

If you live in an older home near Christ Apostolic Church Hastings, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Three Oaks station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
