- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
How we handle bathroom resealing in Fittleworth
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the kitchen upstand and damp behind the bath or under the tray.
For a small place like Fittleworth, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

When to call us in Fittleworth
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. Fresh silicone can’t grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fittleworth CofE Village 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.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Questions from Fittleworth
Can you do bathroom resealing in Fittleworth?
Yes, Fittleworth is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Fittleworth?
Yes, Fittleworth is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
There’s a choice: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, following the cure time we give you. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Fittleworth
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Pulborough station? Then fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Fittleworth, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. We check for movement before we reseal, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Baths
The long joint down the side of a bath is where most leaks start, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone, tooled so water cannot sit on it.
