DIY versus a professional finish
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
Bathroom resealing in Golden Cross, done properly
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through and into the wall or floor. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you are dealing with sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and splits where the tray meets the wall, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Golden Cross, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the job changes by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Shower trays are sealed to the wall, and enclosures are sealed to the tray and tiles. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Golden Cross
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Do not leave water standing on kitchen joints
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use keeps water from sitting on the joint.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

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 normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as Golden Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
How we quote for bathroom resealing
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
When to call us in Golden Cross
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
For landlords with property near Pevensey & Westham station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Questions to ask before you book

Golden Cross: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Golden Cross?
Yes, Golden Cross is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Pevensey & Westham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
