About our bathroom resealing in Balls Cross
Across Balls Cross, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We’re often asked to deal with mouldy sealant that has gone black and smears of silicone across the tiles, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and basins & vanity units.
Homes around Balls Cross are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Balls Cross homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Balls Cross, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
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 call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Worktop joints fail quietly. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

- Whether the work is at height

What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Different surfaces, different methods
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. Where the sealant around the visible edge has failed, we renew it.
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Balls Cross?
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
Homes close to Holy Trinity Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Common questions in Balls Cross
Is bathroom resealing in Balls Cross guaranteed?
All our work, in Balls Cross and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Balls Cross for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Balls Cross is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or as long as we advise for that product.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
