About our bathroom resealing in Five Ash Down
The bead of silicone around a bath, tray or worktop is what keeps water out of the gaps. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include a reseal done over the top of the old bead and mouldy sealant that has gone black, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
In a village or hamlet like Five Ash Down, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: the work takes two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. 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 Five Ash Down, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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.

Bathroom resealing in Five Ash Down: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Five Ash Down Independent Chapel, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Buxted CofE Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint

What the job involves on each surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line doesn’t stand out.
What affects the quote in Five Ash Down
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Five Ash Down questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Buxted station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Five Ash Down in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Five Ash Down is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
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. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is. Somewhere like Five Ash Down needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What we are called out for in Five Ash Down
Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. Over time the joint tears or pulls away from the tile.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
