About our bathroom resealing in Ivychurch
A bead that has gone black, split or come away shouldn’t be left until there’s a leak. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a photo of the joints, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. We work on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are splits where the tray meets the wall and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Around Ivychurch, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
In a kitchen, do not let water sit along the back of the worktop and keep hot pans away from the silicone. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Water gets behind the upstand and into the edge of a laminate worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Ivychurch
Do you cover smaller places like Ivychurch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Ivychurch for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Ivychurch is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. The old joint is stripped, cleaned and resealed from scratch.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

Leave it or put it right?
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it normally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. Around Ivychurch, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why Ivychurch customers choose us
- We are fully insured
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. In a small place like Ivychurch, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Ivychurch
Silicone does not last for ever. Every shower, every splash and every wipe with a cleaner slowly wear it down, and how long it lasts comes down to use, cleaning and ventilation.
Look out for these signs:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
In the older streets around Church of St George, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Before booking anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is VAT in the price?
- What guarantee comes with the work
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, since cooking leaves a film that stops silicone sticking. Proper degreasing is what helps the new joint last.
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so we fill it with water before sealing. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not torn the first time it’s used.
