Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Portslade
Homes in Portslade have the same weak spots as anywhere else: the long edge of the bath, the base of the shower tray, the back of the basin and the line along the worktop. Every joint is cut out, cleaned and left dry before it’s resealed. We’re often asked to deal with gaps between the worktop and the wall and leaking joints on a shower screen, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and sinks & splashbacks.
Around Portslade, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

FAQs for Portslade
Can you do bathroom resealing in Portslade?
Yes, Portslade is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Can you work on commercial sites?

What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Leave it or put it right?
Fresh sealant smartens a bathroom or kitchen with very little disruption, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. Lumpy sealant with smears on the tiles has the opposite effect. In a smaller place like Portslade, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint. A dry joint lasts longer.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- 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 are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
When to call us in Portslade
Sealant laid on a damp, dusty or greasy joint never bonds properly. Traces of soap, bath oil and old sealant stop it gripping, and a joint that looked fine soon begins to come away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
If you look after a building such as Peter Gladwin Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. A visit to Portslade is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.

Portslade homes and their sealant
Portslade is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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.
Rented homes near Fishersgate station change hands often, and fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. In the older streets around St Nicolas Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
