Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Balcombe
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. Common call-outs are for black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off and water getting behind the bath panel, across sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Homes around Balcombe are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Balcombe
Is Balcombe within the area you cover?
Yes. Balcombe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Balcombe in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Balcombe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Is white the only colour available?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Can I do 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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Have a look at the joints every few months. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
Why act early in Balcombe
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Wait for a leak and you may be looking at panels off, drying out and redecorating too. Around Balcombe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

When to call us in Balcombe
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Balcombe, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before

What bathroom resealing looks like in Balcombe
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Balcombe CofE Controlled Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
