About our bathroom resealing in Newtimber
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and sinks & splashbacks, and people most often call us about sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting.
Around Newtimber, 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.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Newtimber can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Landlord and commercial work in Newtimber
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a small place like Newtimber, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- 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.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Questions from Newtimber
Is Newtimber within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Hassocks station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, never. A bead laid over old silicone soon starts to come away. Every trace of the old bead is removed first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray or bath that’s cracked through
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Baths

What affects the quote in Newtimber
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Common problems we fix in Newtimber
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Look out for any of the following:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
Letting a property close to Hassocks station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Newtimber homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St John Evangelist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
