Your questions about bathroom resealing in High Cogges
Do you take on hotel work around High Cogges?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
I let a flat near Combe station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in High Cogges?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it peels away and hides mould and water. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. The old sealant is cut out and the joint degreased, because cooking grease stops silicone sticking, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How we handle bathroom resealing in High Cogges
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on basins & vanity units, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are splits where the tray meets the wall and mouldy sealant that has gone black.
Being in a small place like High Cogges makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line does not stand out.
Sinks & splashbacks
Around the sink, we use a product suited to kitchens, and a food-safe product where it’s needed. The joint is laid neatly so it’s easy to wipe.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Clean the silicone with care: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Avoid scouring pads and anything sharp, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Resealing early stops it.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

Do you need bathroom resealing in High Cogges?
Silicone needs a clean, dry surface without any grease to stick to. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, so a rushed job can start to lift early.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
For landlords with property near Combe station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.
