Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
- Never pick at the silicone with a blade
Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is usually around 24 hours. After that, a quick wipe after showering helps keep it clean.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. 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.
About our bathroom resealing in Pound Hill
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. If you have a messy, uneven bead from a previous reseal and cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Pound Hill, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pound Hill

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
If a wet room leaks, the cause may be the tanking or the drain rather than the joints. We check the joints and say so if the fault looks to be elsewhere.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Pound Hill
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. Pound Hill is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Pound Hill Infant Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as St Barnabas', bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Three Bridges station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Quotes for bathroom resealing in Pound Hill
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen, including the tidy-up. Parking around Pound Hill is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Why deal with it now?
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. Replacing the joint is usually all it takes, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Around Pound Hill, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
