About our bathroom resealing in West Preston

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. Only once it’s dry does the new bead go on. If you have failed sealant on the screen profile and a joint torn by a bath that flexes, we can help, whatever the surface.

Even in a smaller place like West Preston, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Bathrooms and kitchens in West Preston

West Preston is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Managing a site like Georgian Gardens Community Primary School? Then 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. 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. Letting a property close to Angmering station? Then a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.

Should I try it myself first?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Aftercare tips

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
  • Dry the bead with a towel now and then
  • Avoid abrasive pads on the sealant
  • Let new sealant cure fully before it gets wet

Give the silicone time to cure before it gets wet, which is generally around 24 hours. Once it’s cured, wiping it down after use keeps it looking new.

Don’t wait for a refit to deal with failed sealant. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.

What affects the cost of bathroom resealing

You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:

  • When we can work, for business premises
  • The type of sealant required
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

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 we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

When something else is needed

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:

  • A tray or bath that’s cracked through
  • Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
  • Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that’s regrouting)

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Where we work in West Preston

  • Sinks & splashbacks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & upstands
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

Surface by surface

Wet rooms

A wet room floor and its walls can move independently, so the internal corners need silicone rather than grout. Cracked grout in a corner can be cut out and replaced with silicone.

Basins & vanity units

Basins take less water than showers, but the joint behind them is splashed every day. Old sealant there often goes black at the corners, so it’s cut out and renewed just like a bath joint.

The process

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, and the area is left clean. For a job in West Preston, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
  2. The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
  3. Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
  4. When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
  5. The bead is tooled smooth and you’re told the cure time, generally around 24 hours.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
