Wych Cross Bathroom Resealing
Problem with your baths, showers and worktops in Wych Cross? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

- Two layers of silicone, both failing
- Leaks into the floor or ceiling below
What the job involves on each surface
Shower trays & enclosures
Water often gets past the wall profile of a shower enclosure. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, sealing the side the enclosure’s instructions call for.
Kitchen worktops & upstands
The joint between worktop and wall takes splashes, crumbs and cleaning sprays. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop.
About our bathroom resealing in Wych Cross
Sealant is the soft line between a bath, shower or worktop and the wall. Once it cracks or goes mouldy, water starts to find its way through into walls, panels and floors. Every trace of the old sealant is taken out and replaced with anti-fungal sanitary silicone. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between the worktop and the wall and two layers of silicone, both failing.
In a village or hamlet like Wych Cross, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. 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 call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included. Somewhere as small as Wych Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First the area is protected and every bit of old sealant removed, including the film left on the tiles.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- The joint is left to dry, and baths are filled with water first.
- A single bead of anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied and tooled smooth.
- We tidy up and give you the cure time, normally around 24 hours.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Give the silicone its full cure time
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Wipe up standing water along the worktop joint and keep hot pans off the bead. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.
There’s no need to wait for a full refurbishment. Sealant is a maintenance item, like the paint on a window frame, and replacing it when it fails protects the rest of the room.
Signs you need bathroom resealing in Wych Cross
Older sealant shrinks and hardens. Along worktops it tends to pull back from the wall, leaving a thin gap where water and food collect. Hot pans and harsh cleaners don’t help.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Mouldy sealant that has gone black
- Damp behind the bath or under the tray
- A reseal done over the top of the old bead
- Leaking joints on a shower screen
Schools such as Greenfields School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who turns up on the day
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Bathroom resealing around Wych Cross

For landlords with property near East Grinstead station, fresh sealant around the bath, shower and sink between tenancies helps a property present well and keeps leaks at bay.

How long does a bath or shower reseal take?

Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a quote for bathroom resealing in Wych Cross?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can mouldy silicone be sorted out?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it normally can’t be cleaned out for good, so we cut it out, treat the joint and reseal with anti-fungal silicone.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What affects the quote in Wych Cross
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
What happens if it’s left?
You don’t need a new bathroom because the sealant looks bad. A new bead often brings the whole room back, provided the bath, tray and tiles are in good order. If we find a deeper problem, you’ll hear it from us. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wych Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, 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. You’ll know the price before we begin.
