Bath, shower, basin, wet room, worktop and sink resealing in East Ashling, with a one-year guarantee on every job. Call for a quick quote.
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How we handle bathroom resealing in East Ashling
Across East Ashling, 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. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. Typical jobs include new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and mouldy sealant that has gone black, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Around East Ashling, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, where it can make the board swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
For bathroom resealing in East Ashling, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Bleach and mould sprays may lighten black marks for a while, but where mould is inside the silicone it usually comes back. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Around East Ashling, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

East Ashling homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Bosham station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you look after a building such as Funtington 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.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. For a village or hamlet like East Ashling, 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 look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

What should I tell you?

Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Basins & vanity units
Vanity units have long, worktop-style joints against the wall. Water that gets behind can damage the unit, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Common problems we fix in East Ashling
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, opening a hairline gap that lets water and crumbs in. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
