Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Horsted Keynes, West Sussex
Baths, showers and worktops in Horsted Keynes need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.

Bathroom resealing in Horsted Keynes, done properly
Showers work their sealant harder than baths. Tray edges, screen profiles and wet room joints all rely on silicone to stay watertight. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you’re dealing with a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and failed sealant on the screen profile, we can put it right, on kitchen worktops & upstands, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
Somewhere as small as Horsted Keynes, 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Horsted Keynes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St Giles' Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Giles CofE Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Haywards Heath station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

Questions from Horsted Keynes
Can you do bathroom resealing in Horsted Keynes?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Horsted Keynes is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Haywards Heath station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
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 whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Sprays can fade the marks, but cutting it out and resealing is what lasts. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Horsted Keynes, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Surface by 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 doesn’t stand out.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the joints between floor and walls take standing water. They get anti-fungal sanitary silicone, working on the surface joints, not the tanking or drainage.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
Small signs come before a leak: a corner lifting, a gap behind the bead, a dark line under the silicone or a damp patch on the ceiling below. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
Why act early in Horsted Keynes
Most of the work in a good reseal happens before any silicone goes on: cutting out every trace of the old bead, cleaning, treating mould and letting the joint dry. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Around Horsted Keynes, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
