How bathroom resealing works in BN16
We fill the bath before sealing it. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the new joint isn’t pulled apart the first time it’s used. Quick jobs often leave it out, and it makes a real difference. We’re often asked to deal with damp behind the bath or under the tray and gaps between the worktop and the wall, on wet rooms, sinks & splashbacks and kitchen worktops & upstands.
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- We cover the area around the joints we are working on.
- Old sealant is sliced away and the residue removed.
- Mould is treated, then the joint is left to dry thoroughly.
- Baths are filled first, then anti-fungal sanitary silicone is applied in a colour to suit.
- We finish the joint, clear up and tell you how long to leave it before it gets wet.

Where we work in BN16
Across BN16, from Littlehampton, Rustington and Angmering outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Family bathrooms, rented flats and hotel en suites all need their sealant and grout renewing in time.
From Victorian terraces to post-war new towns and modern estates, homes across the South East and London cover every era. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building. Along the coast in BN16, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that is where sealant generally gives up first. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Rustington: If you let a flat or house near Angmering station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets. Schools such as Rustington Community Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Leaks from a shower valve, waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Failed grout lines across the wall
- Movement from a bath with loose feet or no proper support
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Laminate worktops swell if water gets into the core. A continuous bead along the back keeps water out, as long as the worktop itself is firmly fixed.
Shower trays & enclosures
There are normally two jobs in a shower: the tray-to-wall joint and the enclosure joints. Both get soaked every time the shower runs, so both are resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of the old one might look better for a while, but it can’t stick to what’s underneath. Water creeps under it and mould follows.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is VAT in the price?
- Are they insured?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t let bottles sit on the bead
- Use gentle cleaners on the silicone
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Check the joints every few months for splits or lifting
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Use the fan, or open a window, while you bathe and for a while afterwards, so the bead dries out between uses.
Mould that starts as a few spots spreads through the bead. When it has grown right through, it rarely cleans out. Catching it early keeps it a simple reseal.
Your questions about bathroom resealing in BN16
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
The surface skins over fairly quickly, but the bead needs longer to cure right through. Leave it around 24 hours before it gets wet, or follow the cure time we give you.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Yes. We give a 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
