Why it’s worth doing now in North Chailey
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but where mould is inside the silicone it generally comes back. The lasting answer is to remove the bead and start again. In a small place like North Chailey, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Bathroom resealing in North Chailey
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you have water getting behind the bath panel and black spots spreading through the bead, we can put it right.
For a small place like North Chailey, bathroom resealing is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What bathroom resealing looks like in North Chailey
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.
For landlords with property near Plumpton station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chailey Heritage School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of Our Lady include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as North Chailey, 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.
- New anti-fungal silicone goes on in a colour to suit and is tooled to a clean finish.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room floors move slightly as they’re used, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Where grout in a corner has cracked, we can replace it with sealant.
Baths
A bath shifts slightly every time it’s filled, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and is not torn the first time it’s used.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
For anyone letting property in or around North Chailey, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to dry.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
