Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Folkington
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you have shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and smears of silicone across the tiles, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Folkington, 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.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Folkington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, usually after around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Folkington
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally won’t clean off.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of Saint Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathroom resealing in Folkington: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Willingdon Community School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Polegate station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Why act early in Folkington
Sorting it now is quick: it 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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Folkington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and isn’t torn the first time it’s used.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are generally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both take water every day, so each is cut out and renewed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
