Bathroom resealing in BN23: how it works
Kitchens need the same care as bathrooms. The joint between worktop and wall, the edge of the sink and the bottom of the splashback all take splashes every day, and water that gets into the back edge of a worktop can swell the board. Kitchen joints get a sealant suited to kitchens, colour-matched where it shows. We work on kitchen worktops & upstands, sinks & splashbacks and baths, and the jobs we see most are lumpy, uneven sealant from a DIY attempt and leaking joints on a shower screen.
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a couple of hours for a single bath or shower.
- We look at every joint first and check for movement or leaks.
- The old silicone is cut out completely, along with the film it leaves on the tiles.
- Joints are degreased and any mould is treated.
- When the joint is dry, and a bath has been filled with water, the new silicone goes on.
- We tool the bead to a neat finish and give you the cure time, generally around 24 hours.
What affects the price in BN23
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Near you in Eastbourne
Typical jobs here are in homes near St Andrew, Princes Park and Stafford Junior School and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include The King's Arms Public House (0.9 miles south-east), WMG Academy for Young Engineers (1.5 miles south-west) and Ratton School (1.1 miles west). The nearest railway station is Hampden Park station, roughly 0.7 miles north-west. A little further out are Pevensey Castle (3 miles north-east) and Royal Sussex Regimental Museum (1 mile south-east). The countryside around Eastbourne includes Combe Hill.
Bathrooms and kitchens across BN23
BN23 has homes of every age, old and new, with plenty of rented property in places like Eastbourne, Langney and Hampden Park. Sound sealant and clean grout keep water out and rooms looking cared for.
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across BN23 is planned around the weather. Along the coast in BN23, 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.
Eastbourne: For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Hampden Park station, mouldy sealant is one of the first things a new tenant notices, so it’s worth renewing between lets.
Why deal with it now?
A failed joint gets more costly to put right the longer it’s left. Once water is behind the bath, it can reach floorboards, panels and the ceiling underneath, turning a small job into a building repair.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked or missing grout between tiles (that is regrouting)
- Loose or hollow tiles, or failed tanking behind them
- A tray that rocks until it’s re-bedded
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What affects the quote in BN23
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
What we’re called out for in BN23
Mould is the reason many people want their sealant replaced. Steamy rooms that do not dry out keep the silicone damp for hours, and mould that has grown into the silicone normally won’t clean off.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Black spots spreading through the bead
- New sealant laid over old sealant that is now lifting
- Gaps where the bath or tray has moved
- Smears of silicone across the tiles
BN23 questions
How long does a bath or shower reseal take?
A single bath or shower takes about a couple of hours, old sealant removal included. A whole bathroom plus the kitchen may take most of the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What colours of sealant can you use?
White, clear and a range of colours are available. Where the joint is on show, we match it to the surface.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you get rid of the black mould in my sealant?
Yes, by replacing the sealant. Cleaning products may lighten it, but the lasting fix is new anti-fungal silicone on a clean, treated joint. Good ventilation helps keep it away.
Do you guarantee your resealing?
Yes, for 12 months. Looking after the joint as we suggest helps it last.
Do you work in BN23?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in BN23.
