How we handle bathroom resealing in Pickhurst
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints get wet every single day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you have shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, we can help, on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Around Pickhurst, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Wait for the cure time we give you
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth is enough. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
Each shower pushes a little more water through a failed joint. Left alone, it soaks into the floor, the wall behind the tiles or the ceiling below. Early resealing closes the gap before damage is done.
What the job involves on each surface
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so a neat, continuous bead matters.
Sinks & splashbacks
The edge of an inset sink is a common place for water to get under the worktop. We reseal the visible edge of the sink where it has failed.
Do you need bathroom resealing in Pickhurst?
Sealing over old silicone is one of the commonest mistakes we find. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it lifts, lets water in and traps mould underneath.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Splits where the tray meets the wall
In and around Pickhurst, as anywhere, good bathroom resealing starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Pickhurst homes and their sealant
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 Pulborough station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Common questions in Pickhurst
Do you work for landlords with property near Pulborough station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Pickhurst?
Yes. Pickhurst is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you reseal around my kitchen sink and worktop?
Yes, often alongside a bathroom. Next to the sink we use a food-safe product where it’s needed.
Is it OK to put new sealant on top of the old bead?
No, and it’s one of the main reasons reseals fail. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
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. Let us know your preference when you ask for a quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Pickhurst, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- Once it’s dry, any bath is filled so the bead is laid with it at its heaviest.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, generally after around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
