What we’re called out for in Sidlesham Common
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally will not clean off.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
If you live in an older home near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

About our bathroom resealing in Sidlesham Common
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. 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. We work on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots spreading through the bead and shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop.
In a village or hamlet like Sidlesham Common, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in Sidlesham Common
Do you take on hotel work around Sidlesham Common?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
I let a flat near Chichester station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What does bathroom resealing cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long does it take to reseal a bath or shower?
Allow a couple of hours for a single bath or shower. We’ll confirm how long your job needs when we quote.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes, we can. The old sealant comes out, the mould is treated, and we reseal with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry worktop joints after washing up
- Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet
- Open a window or run the fan so the room dries
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
Keep bottles and razors off the sealant line, as they hold water against it. Squeegeeing the walls and tray after use helps the joint dry.
Watch for the early signs: lifting ends, gaps, dark shadows under the bead or a stain downstairs. Any of these means the joint needs attention.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers. For a village or hamlet like Sidlesham Common, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Sidlesham Common homes and their sealant
Sidlesham Common is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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.
Letting a property close to Chichester station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Leave it or put it right?
The difference in a professional reseal is mostly what you don’t see: removing all the old sealant, degreasing the joint, treating mould and drying it properly. Skip those steps and even the best silicone fails early. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sidlesham Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Surface by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Splashbacks in glass, tile or acrylic meet the worktop in a long joint. We renew it in clear, white or a matched colour.
Shower trays & enclosures
A tray that rocks will split any sealant. Movement is checked before anything is resealed, and if the tray needs refixing, we’ll say so.
