Bathroom resealing in Pig Street, done properly
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. 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. We work on baths, sinks & splashbacks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop and black mould in the silicone that won’t clean off.
Homes around Pig Street are mostly 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: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Pig Street questions
Is Pig Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Pig Street is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Pig Street?
Yes, Pig Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it worth trying 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.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in Pig Street?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
What the job involves on each surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Filling the bath first allows for that movement.
Wet rooms
Not every wet room leak is a sealant problem. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, 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 explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Pig Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed.
- We clean and degrease the joint and treat any mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Bathroom resealing around Pig Street
Pig Street is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Thorpe-Le-Soken station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. Schools such as Rolph CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it won’t bond. Water creeps under it and mould follows, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pig Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

When to call us in Pig Street
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Michael, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
