What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a village or hamlet like East Chiltington, 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.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Bathroom resealing in East Chiltington, done properly
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you have splits where the tray meets the wall and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, we can help.
Homes around East Chiltington are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with sealant early is a short job: the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Chiltington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Basins & vanity units
Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, particularly where there’s a shower over the bath. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
What bathroom resealing looks like in East Chiltington
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.
Managing a site like Plumpton Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Plumpton 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, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is normally around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
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. If you spot one, it’s time to reseal.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for East Chiltington
Is East Chiltington within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Plumpton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
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. Allow a couple of hours for a typical bath or shower.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
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 matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
