Bathroom Resealing in Herstmonceux
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Herstmonceux? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
Surface by surface
Shower trays & enclosures
If a tray moves underfoot, new silicone won’t last. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and tell you if it needs re-bedding first.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Bathroom resealing in Herstmonceux
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you’re dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and water getting behind the kitchen upstand, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Herstmonceux, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Why act early in Herstmonceux
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. Older cottages and farmhouses around Herstmonceux can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Questions from Herstmonceux
Is Herstmonceux within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Herstmonceux in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Herstmonceux is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere as small as Herstmonceux, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
