Bathroom resealing in Howt Green, done properly
A shower joint gets soaked every day. Trays, enclosures, screen profiles and wet room floors all need a flexible, waterproof seal. They’re resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, tooled smooth so water runs off instead of sitting in a ridge. If you have black spots spreading through the bead and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Howt Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. Somewhere like Howt Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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, generally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Surface by surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. That way the joint is laid with the bath at its heaviest.
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We reseal the joints and will tell you if the water seems to be coming from somewhere else.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Keep water off the new bead until it has cured, following the cure time we give you. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
FAQs for Howt Green
Do you cover Howt Green for bathroom resealing?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Howt Green is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Kemsley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will it make a mess?

What does bathroom resealing cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Howt Green.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it, and the next reseal means two layers to cut out. Around Howt Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Bathroom resealing in Howt Green: local notes
Howt Green is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Rented homes near Kemsley station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for. In the older streets around Church of St Bartholomew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Regis Manor Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
