How we handle bathroom resealing in Tortington
A fresh bead of silicone changes how a bathroom looks more than most people expect. Mouldy silicone makes even a new bathroom look neglected, and a neat new joint puts that right in a short visit. It also seals the gaps that let water behind the bath. We’re often asked to deal with smears of silicone across the tiles and two layers of silicone, both failing, on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Being in a small place like Tortington makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

The process
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. For a village or hamlet like Tortington, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- 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, usually around 24 hours.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Other services in Tortington
What bathroom resealing looks like in Tortington
Tortington is within about 3 miles of 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Ford station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary Magdalene's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Arundel CofE Primary School, 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.

Surface by surface
Baths
Acrylic baths flex the most, and even steel and cast iron baths settle slightly when full. Loading the bath with water before sealing allows for it.
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. We reseal it along with the base of the enclosure, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.

Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, we can. We strip the bead, treat the joint and lay new anti-fungal silicone.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
One bath or shower is around two hours’ work, including cutting out the old sealant. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not let bottles sit on the bead
- Keep scourers and sharp tools away from the bead
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
Check the sealant now and then. Small splits and lifting ends are easy to catch early, so if something doesn’t look right, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. Once it’s deep in the silicone, cleaning usually will not remove it, and nearby grout often goes the same way. Replacing the sealant early keeps the job small.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
- Water getting in through the grout rather than the sealant
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
