About our bathroom resealing in Chelwood Gate
It is not only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. Typical jobs include splits where the tray meets the wall and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Chelwood Gate, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What we’re called out for in Chelwood Gate
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
If you live in an older home near Chelwood Gate Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Chelwood Gate needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Chelwood Gate
Do you cover Chelwood Gate for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Chelwood Gate is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Chelwood Gate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Places near Chelwood Gate
What else we do in Chelwood Gate
Leave it or put it right?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chelwood Gate can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
