Bathroom resealing in Fontwell

Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Fontwell

We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead isn’t stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We’re often asked to deal with new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting and failed sealant on the screen profile, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands.

For a small place like Fontwell, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Fontwell

Do you work for landlords with property near Barnham station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Do you cover smaller places like Fontwell?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?

Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.

My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?

Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.

When can I use the bath or shower again?

Usually after around 24 hours. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.

Is it worth trying it myself?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Fontwell

With age, silicone loses its stretch. In kitchens it often shrinks away from the back edge, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
  • Damp behind the bath or under the tray
  • Failed sealant on the screen profile
  • Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone

Rented homes near Barnham station change hands often, and mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work 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 Fontwell, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
  2. The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
  3. The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
  4. We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

If you manage several properties in or around Fontwell, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

When it is not the sealant

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:

  • Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we seal

  • Wet rooms
  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

Looking after it afterwards

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the sealant dry after showering
  • Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
  • Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant

Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, because a damaged bead gives mould a foothold.

There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.

Why deal with it now?

Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Fontwell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
