What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. For a village or hamlet like Highbrook, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Highbrook
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Black, patchy sealant makes clean tiles look tired, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. If you have cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and damp behind the bath or under the tray, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Highbrook, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Highbrook
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
If you look after a building such as St Peter's CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Bathroom resealing around Highbrook
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Balcombe station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms rely on sound joints at floor and wall junctions. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Upstands and back edges are cut out, cleaned of grease and resealed, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, because they trap water against the silicone. A quick squeegee after showering keeps water from sitting on the joint.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning normally will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
Questions from Highbrook
Do you work for landlords with property near Balcombe station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Highbrook within the area you cover?
Yes. Highbrook is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
