About our bathroom resealing in Nettlebed
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you’re dealing with damp behind the bath or under the tray and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off, we can help.
Around Nettlebed, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take two to three hours for a typical bath, depending on how much old sealant there is, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Nettlebed, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by protecting the area and stripping out the old bead.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and explain the cure time before we leave.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Your questions about bathroom resealing in Nettlebed
Do you work in hotels near Nettlebed?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is Nettlebed in your area for bathroom resealing?
Yes, Nettlebed is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
It takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Nettlebed, along with the rest of our area.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Water that gets behind a bath soaks into the floor, the panel and sometimes the ceiling below, turning a small job into a building repair. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Nettlebed, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Bathroom resealing in Nettlebed: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Nettlebed. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Which sealant suits the joint
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that’s easy

What we are called out for in Nettlebed
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Decorators’ caulk and all-purpose sealants aren’t made for constant wetting, so they crack, discolour or grow mould quickly. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
If you look after a building such as Nettlebed Community School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
