Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Compton, West Sussex
Bathroom resealing across Compton and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Compton
Across Compton, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and people most often call us about a reseal done over the top of the old bead and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Homes around Compton are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Compton needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Compton
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Failed grout lines across the wall
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Wet rooms
- Baths
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. The new bead is colour-matched where it shows, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone will not last. We check for movement before we reseal, and if the tray needs refixing, we will say so.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Bathroom resealing in Compton: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, 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 Rowlands Castle station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Compton?
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
Managing a site like Compton and Up Marden CofE Primary School? Then 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.
