Portfield Bathroom Resealing
Baths, showers and worktops in Portfield need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
How we handle bathroom resealing in Portfield
It isn’t only bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. If you have sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, we can help, on sinks & splashbacks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
Homes around Portfield range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
Clean the silicone with care: 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. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Portfield homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Portfield. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to St George's include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Chichester station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

FAQs for Portfield
Is Portfield within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chichester station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Portfield
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Water getting behind the kitchen upstand
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
Schools such as Portfield Primary Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- What the cure time is
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.

What else we do in Portfield
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. In a smaller place like Portfield, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why deal with it now?
Running new silicone over the old joint can look tidy for a few weeks, but it cannot stick to what’s underneath. It lifts, traps water and grows mould behind it. Homes in smaller places like Portfield can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
