Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in Scaynes Hill
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it and into the wall or floor. Our team cut the old bead out completely and lay a new one in anti-fungal sanitary silicone. If you’re dealing with mouldy sealant that has gone black and water escaping at the shower enclosure, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Scaynes Hill, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the corners need a flexible seal, not grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.
Basins & vanity units
The back of a basin gets wet every time someone washes. Corners behind basins are where mould tends to start, and we treat it exactly as we would a bath.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Scaynes Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, each joint is checked for movement and signs of water.
- Every trace of the old bead is removed, including the thin smear on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What else we do in Scaynes Hill
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Questions from Scaynes Hill
Do you cover Scaynes Hill for bathroom resealing?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Scaynes Hill is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Scaynes Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone can’t stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. We always take the old sealant out completely.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Common problems we fix in Scaynes Hill
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
Schools such as St Augustine's CofE Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why act early in Scaynes Hill
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, as long as the fittings themselves are sound. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. Around Scaynes Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

What bathroom resealing looks like in Scaynes Hill
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Augustine of Canterbury, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Haywards Heath station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Squeegee the walls and tray after use
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
Do not wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
