- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
How we handle bathroom resealing in Blackness
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you have gaps between the worktop and the wall and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Blackness, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

Bathroom resealing in Blackness: local notes
Blackness 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, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Pevensey & Westham station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Schools such as Stone Cross 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. If you live in an older home near St Luke's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Blackness 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 look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
