Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we handle bathroom resealing in High Hurstwood
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you have a joint torn by a bath that flexes and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around High Hurstwood are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What else we do in High Hurstwood
Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Water getting under the rim of an inset sink can soak the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

When to call us in High Hurstwood
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. Fresh silicone cannot grip the old bead underneath, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as High Hurstwood Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Bathroom resealing in High Hurstwood: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Questions from High Hurstwood
Can you do bathroom resealing in High Hurstwood?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and High Hurstwood is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Buxted station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No, never. Sealing over the top looks fine for a few weeks, then lifts, because silicone doesn’t bond to silicone. We remove the old bead completely before resealing.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we are fully insured.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
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 send us an email.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Without that preparation, the new bead won’t last. Around High Hurstwood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
