Bathroom resealing in BN17: how it works
Before a bath is sealed, it’s filled with water. The weight settles the bath to its lowest point, so the bead is not stretched the first time someone gets in. It’s a small step that rushed reseals tend to skip. We work on sinks & splashbacks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked, shrunken or lifting silicone and water escaping at the shower enclosure.
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning or an afternoon for most single baths and showers.
- Protection goes down around the bath, shower or worktop.
- 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.
- The joint is finished neatly and we explain when it can get wet.
What you will pay
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Local landmarks in Littlehampton
We work in homes and buildings around River Beach Primary School, New Inn Hotel and Littlehampton College and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin (under half a mile south-west), The Littlehampton Academy (less than half a mile north) and Mewsbrook Park (0.6 miles south-east). The nearest railway station is Littlehampton station, about 0.7 miles west. A little further out are Zachary Merton Hospital (1.4 miles east) and Lyminster Siege Castle (2.8 miles north). Open spaces near Littlehampton include Highdown Hill and WWT Arundel.
Bathrooms and kitchens across BN17
From Littlehampton, Rustington and Wick to its smaller places, homes across BN17 have bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in BN17 is planned around the forecast. Along the coast in BN17, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that is where sealant usually gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.
Littlehampton: Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as The Littlehampton Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen worktops & upstands
Worktop joints get wet and wiped every day. We seal them in a colour that suits the worktop, so the line doesn’t stand out.
Shower trays & enclosures
The vertical joint where a screen profile meets the wall is a common leak point. It’s resealed along with the tray joints, following the enclosure maker’s guidance on which side to seal.
What we’re called out for in BN17
A bath shifts a little every time it’s filled and emptied. Acrylic in particular gives slightly under the weight of water and a person, and a tray that is not fully bedded can rock. That movement works at the bead until it splits or peels away.
Look out for these signs:
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
- Failed sealant on the screen profile
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- A bead that has pulled away from the tiles
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacement)
- A leaking waste, trap or valve
- Damage behind the tiles that needs a tiler
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in BN17
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in BN17 and across West Sussex. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Questions from BN17
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can you just seal over the old silicone?
No. Fresh silicone cannot stick to the old bead, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old sealant comes out first.
How much does bathroom resealing cost in BN17?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
My sealant has gone black. Can you sort it?
Yes. Once mould has grown into the silicone, it usually can’t be cleaned out for good, so the bead comes out, the joint is treated and new anti-fungal silicone goes in.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover BN17, along with the rest of our area.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
