- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Sealant that has split, shrunk or peeled away
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Stanmer
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
In the older streets around Stanmer Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
Bathroom resealing in Stanmer, done properly
A reseal only lasts if the joint is properly prepared. Every bit of old silicone comes out, down to the thin film left on the tiles, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. Typical jobs include water escaping at the shower enclosure and mouldy sealant that has gone black, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.
Around Stanmer, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Stanmer
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Falmer station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Schools such as Coldean Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Questions from Stanmer
I let a flat near Falmer station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Stanmer?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Kitchen joints get extra degreasing before the new bead goes on, then we reseal in a colour to suit.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracks in the tray itself rather than the joint
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- A bath or tray that moves because it is not properly supported
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Stanmer

Why deal with it now?
A clean new bead makes a room look cared for, which helps when a home is being let or put on the market. A smeared, uneven DIY bead does the opposite. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stanmer can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Stanmer, 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.
- 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.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- The bead is tooled smooth and you are told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
