Bathroom resealing for homes and businesses in West Ashling
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. When it splits, shrinks or turns black, water gets behind it into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. Typical jobs include gaps where the bath or tray has moved and new sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & upstands.
Somewhere as small as West Ashling, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What bathroom resealing looks like in West Ashling
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Bosham station? Then mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Managing a site like Funtington Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why act early in West Ashling
You do not need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back. If we find a deeper problem, you will hear it from us. In a small place like West Ashling, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
- Clean with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth
- Keep the fan on for a while after bathing
In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Like paintwork, sealant needs renewing from time to time, and renewing it as soon as it fails protects everything around it.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Kitchen joints need more degreasing than bathroom ones, because cooking grease stops sealant bonding. The extra cleaning is what makes the bead last.
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.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like West Ashling, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- 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, normally around 24 hours.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Do you need bathroom resealing in West Ashling?
Plenty of failed sealant has been laid over the top of older sealant. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so it peels, leaks and hides mould behind it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Water getting behind the bath panel
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
