Bathroom Resealing in Coates

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Coates
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on sinks & splashbacks, kitchen worktops & upstands and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath panel and sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away.
Somewhere as small as Coates, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Coates
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
Managing a site like Fittleworth CofE Village School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Coates
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Agatha, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Pulborough station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Surface by surface
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. It gets one smooth bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Leave it or put it right?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Around Coates, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. For a village or hamlet like Coates, 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.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Small signs come before a leak: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
