Bathroom resealing in East Wittering
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. Each gets a bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. We work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are two layers of silicone, both failing and failed sealant on the screen profile.
In and around East Wittering, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in East Wittering and across West Sussex.

Surface by surface
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.
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
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.
Small signs come before a leak: 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.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: 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. In a smaller place like East Wittering, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- Next, the joint is cleaned and any mould is treated.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Common problems we fix in East Wittering
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black

East Wittering homes and their sealant
East Wittering is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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 an older house near a landmark such as St Anne, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What’s near East Wittering
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Thatched Tavern, among other places. Green spaces nearby include Pilsey Island.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a split or mouldy bead only stores up trouble. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, and that’s a far bigger job than a reseal. Around East Wittering, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
