How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen from start to finish. Parking around Old Town is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Bathroom resealing in Old Town, done properly
Across Old Town, the joints we reseal are the ones that fail in any home: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & upstands, and people most often call us about two layers of silicone, both failing and water getting behind the kitchen upstand.
Homes around Old Town range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Don’t leave water standing on kitchen joints
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Have a look at the joints every few months. A small split or a corner lifting is easy to spot, so if something does not look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Bathroom resealing in Old Town: local notes
Old Town is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Old Town?
Baths and trays move. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
For landlords with property near Eastbourne station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

I let a flat near Eastbourne station. Can you help?

Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Old Town?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you come to Old Town?
Yes. We cover Old Town. To book, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White and clear are the most common choices, but other colours can be used to suit tiles and worktops. Tell us what you’d like when you get in touch.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Worktops, sinks and splashbacks are all part of the job, with a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Leave it or put it right?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it won’t bond. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. In an older home around Old Town, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface by surface
Baths
Baths move more than any other fitting, so it’s filled with water before the bead goes on. The joint is then laid with the bath at its lowest point and isn’t stretched when it’s used.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
