Bathroom resealing in Tile Hurst, done properly
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. A full bath sits slightly lower than an empty one, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. If you are dealing with gaps between the worktop and the wall and leaks into the floor or ceiling below, we can put it right, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and sinks & splashbacks alike.
Around Tile Hurst, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Tile Hurst: your questions answered
Is Tile Hurst within the area you cover?
Yes, Tile Hurst is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Polegate station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long before the new sealant can get wet?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s generally around 24 hours. Using it sooner can damage the bead.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Does the resealing come with a guarantee?
Yes, a one-year guarantee. Good ventilation and gentle cleaning help it last.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What colours of sealant can you use?
You are not limited to white: clear, white and colours chosen to suit the room. We will talk it through when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Sinks & splashbacks
Next to the sink, the sealant has to cope with constant water, including a food-safe sealant where that is needed. The bead is finished smooth so it wipes clean.
Basins & vanity units
A vanity top has a joint along the wall and sometimes at the sides. If water gets in, the cabinet underneath can swell, so the joint is sealed in one unbroken line.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take around two hours for one bath or shower, longer for a whole bathroom. Somewhere as small as Tile Hurst, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We protect the area and cut out all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- We let it dry fully and fill the bath with water before sealing.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We clear away and tell you when it can get wet, normally after around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep bottles off the sealant line
- Keep an eye on the corners, where splits start
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
Treat the new bead gently when you clean: warm soapy water and a soft cloth do the job. Scourers and blades can nick the surface, and a nicked bead lets mould in sooner.
A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, where it can make the board swell. A reseal in time can save the worktop.

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Tile Hurst. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Polegate station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Signs you need bathroom resealing in Tile Hurst
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Bathrooms without good ventilation give mould all the damp it needs, and mould that has grown into the silicone generally won’t clean off.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- Black mould in the silicone that will not clean off
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
Schools such as Grovelands Community Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
