Bathroom resealing in Stowting
Resealing is a small job that makes a big difference. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a clean white or clear joint fixes it quickly. Just as important, it closes the gaps water would otherwise get through. We are often asked to deal with a reseal done over the top of the old bead and gaps between the worktop and the wall, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
Somewhere as small as Stowting, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. In a small place like Stowting, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.

- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work

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.
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, while steel and cast iron baths move less but still settle when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
What affects the cost of bathroom resealing
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stowting
Mould removers can fade the surface of a stained bead, but mould that has grown into the sealant tends to return. Cutting it out and resealing with anti-fungal silicone is the fix that lasts. Around Stowting, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Is it worth trying it myself?

Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s usually around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes. Mould inside the bead rarely cleans out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wipe the sealant dry after showering
- Move toiletries away from the joint
- Give the silicone its full cure time
Good ventilation does more than any cleaner. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the silicone gets a chance to 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.
