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 Chiltington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Chiltington
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, finished smooth so water drains away rather than collecting. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are smears of silicone across the tiles and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
Around Chiltington, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.

Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Chiltington
With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
Bathroom resealing in Chiltington: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Cooksbridge station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Schools such as Chailey 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.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A few black dots in the silicone soon become a black line. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually won’t remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a village or hamlet like Chiltington, 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.
- 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
