About our bathroom resealing in Yapton

Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. Worktop upstands, sink edges and splashback joints all take splashes every day, and water behind a laminate worktop can make it swell. We reseal them with a kitchen-suitable silicone, matched to the worktop where it’s on show. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & upstands and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are a joint torn by a bath that flexes and a reseal done over the top of the old bead.

Around Yapton, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Yapton and across West Sussex.

How we quote for bathroom resealing

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • The amount of work
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What to tell us for a quote

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

  • Photos by email, if that’s easy
  • Where the property is
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work

If you are in Yapton and need bathroom resealing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.

Do you need bathroom resealing in Yapton?

Baths and trays move. An acrylic bath flexes under load, while a poorly supported tray can shift underfoot. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A joint torn by a bath that flexes
  • Black spots spreading through the bead
  • Water getting behind the bath panel
  • Leaking joints on a shower screen

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Is VAT in the price?
  • How the colour is chosen
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Keeping the joints in good condition

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Never pick at the silicone with a blade
  • Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
  • Look for lifting corners and small gaps now and then
  • Squeegee the walls and tray after use

In a kitchen, don’t let water sit along the back of the worktop. The drier the joint stays, the longer it lasts.

A failed kitchen joint is easy to miss. Splashes run behind the back edge and soak into the worktop, and the board underneath can swell. Resealing before that happens protects the worktop.

What happens on the day

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes half a day or less for one room, longer when the kitchen is included, including the tidy-up. A visit to Yapton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
  2. We cut away the old sealant and clean off what’s left.
  3. We treat any mould and let the joint dry properly.
  4. Any bath is filled with water, then we lay a bead of anti-fungal silicone in white, clear or a matching colour.
  5. The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY sealant or a professional job?

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

When it is not the sealant

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

  • A leaking waste, trap or valve
  • A tray or bath that is cracked through
  • Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we seal

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

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
