- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal

- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. Somewhere as small as Postling, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- We apply anti-fungal sanitary silicone in one even bead and tool it neatly.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How we handle bathroom resealing in Postling
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, after which the joint is degreased and any mould treated. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. If you have failed sealant on the screen profile and gaps between the worktop and the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Postling, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Sinks & splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & upstands
Common problems we fix in Postling
Not every tube in the shop is meant for a shower. Acrylic caulk and general-purpose sealants are not designed for a joint that’s wet every day, so they stain, crack or go mouldy before long. A bathroom joint needs anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- A messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal
Letting a property close to Sandling station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Why it’s worth doing now in Postling
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, so the next person has twice as much to remove. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Postling, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Postling
I let a flat near Sandling station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Postling?
Yes, Postling is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Postling and the rest of Kent.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Silicone is touch-dry quite quickly, but it takes longer to cure. Keep water off it for around 24 hours, or as long as we advise for that product.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Is white the only colour available?
You’re not limited to white: white, clear and colours to suit tiles and worktops. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Dry the bead with a towel now and then
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
Don’t stand bottles along the bead, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
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. Resealing early stops it.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Bathroom resealing in Postling: local notes
Postling 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brockhill Park Performing Arts College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary and St Radegund, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating

Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
