DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Etchingham
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Etchingham station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Nicholas and St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Etchingham
I let a flat near Etchingham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Etchingham?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Etchingham is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something does not look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Etchingham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Water behind a laminate worktop can make the edge swell. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Etchingham
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Etchingham Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Etchingham
Landlords and letting agents in Etchingham can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- A bath or tray that moves because it isn’t properly supported
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
