Bathroom & kitchen resealing in Wilmington, East Sussex
Professional bathroom resealing in and around Wilmington, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
- Shrunken sealant along the back of a worktop
- Black spots spreading through the bead
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How we handle bathroom resealing in Wilmington
The secret of a lasting bead is the preparation. The old sealant is removed to the last smear, then the joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould. New silicone goes on only when the joint is fully dry. If you have a reseal done over the top of the old bead and black spots spreading through the bead, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & upstands alike.
Homes around Wilmington are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. In a small place like Wilmington, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- 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, generally around 24 hours.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Bathroom resealing around Wilmington
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 look after a building such as Willingdon Community School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Berwick (Sussex) station change hands often, and a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Wilmington is about 4 miles south-west of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Wilmington is covered for bathroom resealing. The work is guaranteed for a year. Across East Sussex, we cover 289 places, and Wilmington is one of them. You can also see our page for Brighton, roughly 14 miles from Wilmington.
Every address in BN26 is covered for bathroom resealing, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You will find streets such as The Street and Ades Field, and we cover them all. Neighbouring places we cover for bathroom resealing include Milton Street (1 mile south-west), Winton (2 miles west), Arlington (2 miles north), Berwick (2 miles north-west) and Lullington (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Eastbourne (5 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (12 miles east), Seaford (5 miles south-west), Lewes (9 miles north-west), Hailsham (4 miles north-east) and Uckfield (11 miles north).
What’s near Wilmington
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Sussex Ox pub, among other places. The nearest railway station is Berwick (Sussex) station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Agricultural Museum (less than half a mile south) and Burlough Castle (1 mile west). For a walk, there’s Combe Hill.
What happens if it’s left?
Sorting it now is quick: it takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen. Left until water gets through, the job can grow to lifting panels, drying out and decorating. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wilmington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What we’re called out for in Wilmington
With age, silicone loses its stretch. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Heat from the hob and strong sprays speed it along.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
Homes close to St Mary and St Peter's Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A tray or bath that is cracked through
- Water coming from the plumbing rather than the joint
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support

What else we do in Wilmington
Wilmington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Wilmington?
Yes. Wilmington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do bathroom resealing in Wilmington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wilmington is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When can I use the bath or shower again?
We give you the cure time before we leave, and it’s normally around 24 hours. Getting it wet too early can spoil the new joint.
How long will the resealing take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A full bathroom and kitchen can take most of a day.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
