Cote questions
Do you cover smaller places like Cote?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Cote for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Cote is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Cote
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the kitchen upstand and water getting behind the bath panel, on sinks & splashbacks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Being in a small place like Cote makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Cote and across West Sussex.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Why act early in Cote
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cote can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Colour picked to suit the job
Bathrooms and kitchens in Cote
Cote is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Durrington-On-Sea station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Schools such as Durrington Junior 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.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Cote, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Wait for the cure time we give you
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. A dry joint lasts longer.
Watch for the early signs: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
What affects the quote in Cote
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- Where the property is

Common problems we fix in Cote
The wrong product fails fast. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants are not made for constant wetting, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
In the older streets around St Symphorian's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
