Blackstone Bathroom Resealing
Our applicators work in Blackstone on bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans away from the silicone. A dry joint lasts longer.
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 Blackstone, done properly
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and leaks into the floor or ceiling below.
In a village or hamlet like Blackstone, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Blackstone
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hassocks station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Blackstone?
Yes, Blackstone is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
Why it’s worth doing now in Blackstone
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Around Blackstone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.

Common problems we fix in Blackstone
No sealant lasts indefinitely. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, so its life depends on how the room is used, cleaned and aired.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether VAT is included
- How the colour is chosen
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take 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 Blackstone, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
