About our bathroom resealing in Jacob's Post
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. Common call-outs are for a joint torn by a bath that flexes and lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks.
For a small place like Jacob's Post, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Jacob's Post as everywhere else we work.

How we quote for bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Jacob's Post needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Jacob's Post: your questions answered
Is Jacob's Post in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Jacob's Post is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Jacob's Post within the area you cover?
Yes, Jacob's Post is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. You will get the exact cure time before we leave.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning generally will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Why deal with it now?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which matters if you’re letting a property or selling it. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite, and it’s harder to put right later. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Jacob's Post, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Jacob's Post homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like The Gattons Infant School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Providence Strict Baptist Chapel, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Burgess Hill station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Different surfaces, different methods
Baths
Most bath leaks begin along the long edge, especially under a shower. We finish it with a single, even bead of anti-fungal silicone.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A sound joint along the back edge stops that.
