Bathroom resealing across BN2: what to expect
Homes in BN2 have the same weak spots as anywhere else: bath edges, tray joints, basin backs and kitchen upstands. Each one is stripped, cleaned and dried before new silicone goes in. Common call-outs are for a bead that has pulled away from the tiles and a reseal done over the top of the old bead, on basins & vanity units, baths and sinks & splashbacks.
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes a couple of hours for one bath or shower, or most of a day for a full bathroom and kitchen.
- 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.
- The joint is cleaned, degreased and treated for mould.
- With the joint dry, and any bath loaded with water, a single bead of anti-fungal silicone is applied.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, usually around 24 hours.
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 play a part.

Bathroom resealing across BN2: local notes
Across BN2, from Brighton, Carlton Hill and Telscombe outwards, we see 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, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across BN2 is planned around the weather. Along the coast in BN2, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, so they’re often the first to fail. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Carlton Hill: Schools such as Carlton Hill Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Brighton station, a reseal between tenants is a quick way to make the bathroom and kitchen look cared for.
Quotes for bathroom resealing in BN2
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that’s easy

Common problems we fix in BN2
Black mould is behind a lot of resealing. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and once it has grown into the bead, cleaning rarely gets it out.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps between the worktop and the wall
- Water escaping at the shower enclosure
- A joint torn by a bath that flexes
- Black spots spreading through the bead
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Stick to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after every shower
- Wipe up water along the back of the worktop
- Move toiletries away from the joint
Mould needs damp, so keep the room aired. Run the extractor fan during and after a shower, so the bead dries out between uses.
A split bead lets water through every time the bath or shower is used. Over time that water reaches floors, walls and ceilings. Resealing early stops it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Questions from BN2
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can new silicone go straight over the old?
No. It’s a common reason for reseals failing. We cut out all of the old sealant, clean the joint and start again.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Do you reseal kitchen worktops and sinks too?
Yes. Where it’s needed by the sink, we use a food-safe sealant.
How long does the new silicone need before I use the shower?
After around 24 hours in most cases. We’ll tell you the cure time for the product we used.
Can I choose the colour of the sealant?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. On a worktop we colour-match where the joint shows.
