Bathroom resealing in Danehill
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints 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 water getting behind the kitchen upstand and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, across shower trays & enclosures, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Danehill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Danehill
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Danehill Church of England Primary School, 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. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Landlord and commercial work in Danehill
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere like Danehill 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.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Danehill
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Soap residue, oils and leftover silicone film all get in the way, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
Letting a property close to Haywards Heath station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the cure time is
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Questions from Danehill
I let a flat near Haywards Heath station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Danehill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
It depends on how many joints there are and how much old sealant has to come out. For most single baths or showers, allow a couple of hours.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
We can use white, clear or a colour to suit. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.

Why it’s worth doing now in Danehill
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Around Danehill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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 the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
